Dominique Moceanu Felt a 'Primal Loss' Before Meeting Secret Sister

Originally posted 06/11/2012 02:30PM

The way they laugh and speak – even their handwriting – bear similarities only two sisters can share.

But Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Dominique Moceanu and her sister Jennifer Bricker, whose existence was a secret for most of her life, have yet another connection that could potentially take sibling bonding to new heights.

Even though they grew up hundreds of miles away from each other, Moceanu, who was the youngest of the gold-winning "Magnificient 7" at the 1996 Olympics, and Bricker, who was born without legs, both share a passion for gymnastics.

"I don't think it's a coincidence," Bricker told 20/20 Friday in an interview revealing Moceanu's family secret. "It's nature versus nurture."

Mindy McCready: My Son Keeps Me from Wanting to Die

Mindy McCready says her son gives her a reason to live.

"Zander saved my life," the embattled singer, 36, who has attempted suicide several times, tells ABC News's Andrea Canning on 20/20 in an interview scheduled to air Friday night. "Every time I wanted to let go and give in, I remember what he did for me. [I love him] more than anything. He is my little angel."

McCready – who was recently found hiding Zander, 5, in closet in Arkansas a few days after taking him from his legal guardian – admits that "everbody makes mistakes," but she doesn't consider snatching her son as one of them.
