Bridging the Unknown by other means

Look around the news and report Social Media has done it again. Link Two people who look similar add each other through Facebook not knowing each other. Turns out that they were indeed related from long ago. The Facebook post read: "On Sept. 19, 1982, my very first niece was born and given up for adoption. I know it wasn't an easy decision for my brother to make, but it was the right one for that baby girl. Hope you can take a moment to read this & be thankful for the selfless sacrifice of adoption. I know many families whose hearts are full because of it.'' 
Abbey Donohue  has found her biological family through the means of social media. Her sister, Paula O'Brien, was extremely shocked and now are reunited at last. 

Social can restore lost ties and reunite families again. However, there also a darker side to Social Media does on its own.
