The siblings bumped into each other a career fair while speaking to a state trooper
NEWARK -- A brother and sister who lost touch after being put in separate foster homes almost eight years ago were reunited thanks to an apparent common interest in law enforcement careers.
Faith and Terrell both happened to be attending the State Police's career fair at Rutgers-Newark and ran into each other while speaking to the same trooper.
The siblings said they lost contact with each other after Faith's last name was changed.

State Police shared the story on their Facebook page, though they didn't disclose the age, hometown or last name of either sibling.
"It was amazing to be there to witness the moment they were reunited," said Quaron Crenshaw, the trooper who was there when Faith and Terrell saw each other for the first time in years. "I am hoping they keep following their dreams and one day have a career in law enforcement."
