Sadly it would never happen here as they will NEVER reveal who got which organs. The best a donor family can hope for is, heart went to 28yo male, the kidneys went to a 47yo female and a 64yo male. Very occasionally at transplant get togethers people can guess and put 2 and 2 together, but the Red Cross will never divulge the information.
Sometimes they still get it wrong as sometimes there is more than one organ retrieval in the same day. A recipient could divulge that they received their gift on June 1 2011 and they are talking to someone who lost their loved one on that date, they would assume they are bonded. In actual fact, there could have been 2 or 3 donations on June 1 2011.
If the families want to correspond, each letter has to go via the Red Cross and they vet the letter, same as a prisoners letters in jail. Any revealling information gets removed. I don't know why they are so strict about it. Some families on both sides may not be interested in meeting the other families, but some people do want to know. Saying thank you via a vetted letter isn't the same as hugging them and thanking them. If both families agree, they should be allowed to meet.
