Squicky story from Germany about an adopted son discovering his biological sister and, well, starting a not-exactly storybook romance.

Patrick, who is 30 years old, was adopted and, as a child, he lived in Potsdam.

He did not meet his mother and biological family until he was 23. He travelled to Leipzig with a friend in 2000, determined to make contact with his other relatives.

He met his sister Susan for the first time, and according to the couple, after their mother died, they fell in love.

"When I was younger, I didn't know that I had a brother. I met Patrick and I was so surprised," said Susan, who is 22.

She says she does not feel guilty about their relationship.

"I hope this law will be overturned," Susan said.


They've got four kids, three of whom are in foster care. He's gotten a vasectomy, but still faces jail time.

Strange, difficult story.
