There is a related article on this and similar events, in the Australian (which, as I understand it, does not permit articles to be posted on FR). This one is worth reading (if you like lurid, funny stories):

Wrong solution. It does no good to know the parents who are probably dead or scattered to the winds. It WOULD do good to know of siblings.

If this happened to me I’d be pretty freaked out.

Because of this one-in-a-zillion case, Britain wants to write a new law.

Sorry folks, this smells like pure BS to me.

How could they meet and marry and not know that they shared the same birthday and were born in the same town? They both knew they were adopted.

Pure bs.

Lesson: don't marry someone born on the same day in the same year as yourself. Of course that doesn't help with siblings who are not twins.

It seems to me I heard recently of a married couple who did have the same birthday, born same year, but there was no reason to think they were really siblings.

When you find out things about yourself that you hadn't ought to know
When your grandma calls and books you on the Jerry Springer show
And you find out you and your wife of 10 years just might be related
Brother, life ain't over, it's just simply complicated.

-- Jimmy Buffett

I take it they aren’t identical twins.

this is such a rare occurrence that any major legislation based on it is simply taking advantage of the bizarre exception to the rule.

They did not look like each other?

I mean, it does not mention “identical,” but it doesn’t deny it either.

Even if not identical they would look an awful lot each other ...

Andy Stewart (Scottish folksinger) wrote a song of such a situation back in the 80s... sad.
