It's a miracle and a blessing for Oprah and Patricia to be reunited, God was in the plan for this revelation. I'm so glad her mother lived long enough to see the child she put up for adoption and pray all wounds will be healed. God bless you

P.S.
The one dark spot on this happy story is the idea that Vernita declined twice to meet with Patricia. Even through she claims that she "went back to the hospital for the baby" it does not minimize the fact that years later when "the baby" reached out to her, she was unavailable and declined to meet with her. Patricia may have been polite and understanding on the show yesterday, but I will easily believe that she will have more of a family relationship with Oprah than with the mother who chose Not to be reunited with her when she reached out to her after all those years!!

It may have taken 48 years to be delivered to her, but I believe that Patricia is a gift that only time and patience could have given to Oprah. Just the idea that Patricia has known for years that she and Oprah shared the same mother, and for Patricia to be so humbled and appreciative of meeting Pat's children only speak for itself the value that Patricia is as a person. Oprah reminding us that Patricia could have sold her story, and Patricia seeming genuinely surprised that Oprah was thanking her for not going to the tabloids was a moment within itself. This is truly a heart wrenching story which appears to have a very happy beginning to these two women as sisters. A wonderful revelation!!
