Sister, Sister on the Disney Channel -- what's the back story?

[Barb D]

I've only seen parts of a couple of episodes of Sister, Sister, and I've never understood what the premise is. Why were the sisters separated at birth, what brought them together, and what is the family situation now? The episode that was just on had the ghost of the dad's wife. Had the mom been married? Are they married to each other, or just house sharing/coparenting?

The little blurb about the show on disneychannel.com just says that they were separated at birth.

okay they were seperated ( adopted ) to different couples after the twins were born

Tia went to Jackee

and Tamera went to Tim Reid

They met at a mall, then they moved in so that teh girls could know each other.

The mother did pass away ( she was never married to Tim Reid's character. )

The father they met in the last season, Tamera went to work with him at some point.

Here is a summary from IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108927/plotsummary
Tia and Tamera Mowry play twins who were separated at birth and by chance meet each other in a shopping mall. Ray Campbell, Tamera's adopted father, is very different from Tia's adopted mother, Lisa Landry, but the twins don't want to be separated so Ray and Lisa end up living together. The series often focuses on the trouble the twins get into due to their identical appearance and the love-hate relationship between Lisa and Ray.

The twins later discovered their natural parents were Rachel Gavin, a black artist who died during childbirth and Matt Sullivan, a white globe-trotting photojournalist whose newly born kids were given up for adoption before he could find them. Tamera later accompanied Matt to Africa for a summer photo shoot; Tia’s mom married Victor Sims [her romance with Ray fizzled]; Tia got a New York internship with the WNBA; and Ray accepted a position with the governor [Ray had earlier run for the senate but lost].
