SEVEN adult siblings given to different adoptive families reunited after never knowing each other and held a barrage of bonding events to make up for lost time.

    The brother and six sisters made bunk bed forts, held a birthday celebration, played music together and had a pillow fight during a reunion this year in Los Angeles, California.

    Two of the sisters had lived with their grandparents in Oklahoma as children and others had met each other previously, but the meeting marked the first time they had all been in the same room.

    The three oldest siblings all lived together in New Jersey and watched as their younger siblings were given up for adoption one by one.

    Mary Anna King, 32 the second oldest, told SJ Magazine that she and her younger sister Becca King, 31, were sent to the Midwest when they were 10 and 9 and their parents divorced.

    The oldest of the seven children in their mid 20s and early 30s, Jacob, lived with his father.

    The four youngest siblings, Lisa Frerking, 30, Rebekah Henson, 29, Meghan Bredell and Lesly Bredell ,25, were given to different families in the New Jersey area — with the youngest two together — when they were born.

    “I don’t think any of them ever came home with us before they were put up for adoption, even for a day,” Jacob said on a GoFundMe campaign to raise travel expenses for the reunion.

    The siblings didn’t realize until later that they were growing up as close as 20 minutes to one of them.

    The older brother even taught the two youngest siblings karate without knowing they were related.

    Rebekah, the fifth-oldest child, said that their parents had an unstable relationship and that “poverty had a lot to do” with them being given up.

    Mary Anna has said that their parents were “great at making babies, but not so great at holding on to them.”

    Their mother Peggy told Philly.com that she “felt like I was giving up their past for their future.”

    “They weren’t given up because they weren’t loved. They were given up because they were.”

    The three oldest siblings reunited with Lisa as early as 2001 when she emailed them, and the group then found Rebekah, Meghan and Lesly.
