Oprah announced in her show that she has a long-lost half-sister named Patricia, who was given up secretly for adoption in 1963. It turns out Oprah’s mother, Vernita, had a child from another man and could not afford to keep Patricia. She lived in a foster home until she was adopted at the age of 7. Patricia searched for her mother for years and found out that Oprah was her half-sister. It was a great family reunion for Oprah and Patricia when they met in Thanksgiving Day last year. Well, at least there would be additional members of the Winfrey family and maybe create their own show in her cable TV network about family reunions.
