And they were really neighbours... 
Two Canadian brothers separated at a young age, both searching for their biological family have discovered they live across the road from each other.



Tommy Larkin, 30, and Stephen Goosney, 29, were given away to different adoptive families as infants and were left with little personal information to track down their birth parents.



Both brothers were searching for their biological families in order to find out their medical history before discovering they were neighbours, the Canadian Press reported.



Mr Larkin was at his Newfoundland home when he was told over the phone his biological brother's address — the house directly across the road from his.



Mr Larkin waited until his brother returned to the house the next day, then gave him a call.



"It was all pretty overwhelming," Mr Goosney said.



"We have been seeing each other pretty much every day, just hanging out and trying to catch up."



Mr Goosney said the pair felt an immediate connection after meeting.



"It feels different, having someone I can call a brother," he said.



"We both have families, but this is as close as it gets."



The brothers are now looking for the rest of their biological family.
