Two teenage friends who were conceived via IVF have discovered that they are brother and sister.

Georgia Bond and Jack Bowman, from Liverpool, have been friends for most of their lives and both knew that they were conceived via IVF treatment, reports the Mirror.

Georgia said the pair have even joked that they could be related but were amazed to discover that it was true when they applied to find out more information about the sperm donor.

The Human Fertilisation and Embryo Authority keep a record of all births as a result of assisted conception treatments from August 1991.

Georgia shared the news on Twitter and said: "A few weeks ago we found out we were able to access details about our donors and donor conceived siblings.

"So Jack received his first telling him he had a sister born in 1998 which resulted in me requesting mine for that small chance we could actually be.

"After weeks of sitting by the letter box with both excitement and dread.

"Today we found we have the same sperm donor so we genuinely are brother and sister after all.

"Happiest person ever right now. To all those who were IVF, request your details - best thing I've ever done. Miracles can happen."

The post quickly caught people's attention and has now been retweeted more than 78,000 times.

Users were also fast to point out that it could have been a little awkward if the pair had become more than just best mates.


One person wrote: "When the friendzone works to your advantage..."

Another added: "When you've been grafting your whole life to get out of the friendzone and can see the light but that light is just entrance to the brotherzone."

Georgia is now encouraging other people to find out more about their biological history.
