Oprah and her New Sister

There was a touching story on Oprah Winfrey today. It seems that Oprah's mother gave a daughter up for adoption forty seven years ago.

The woman wanted to know her birth Mother and tried to track her down. She was denied because the Mother did not want contact with her. Their Mother felt ashamed that she gave her up for adoption because she could not afford to raise her.

She did get some information about how many siblings she had. She had a sibling born in 1954, and two other siblings who passed away.

After she listened to Oprah's mother giving an interview, there were many similarities in her story .

She has known since 2007 that she was probably Oprah Winfrey's half sister. It is amazing and attests to this woman's integrity that she was concerned how this would affect Oprah. Patricia also has a son and daughter who kept the secret along with her.

Most people would have called the tabloids and broke this news, and cashed in on a big paycheck.
Oprah and Pat and the rest of the family, I hope you have a good life together.
