Woman Finds Father, Who Thought She Was Dead

The following teaser is from an excellent adoption reunion article found at the WTVM.com website:

PHENIX CITY, AL (WTVM) – A Phenix City woman had the opportunity of a lifetime when she recently met her biological father, who believed she was dead for over 40 years. Keri Abercrombie’s amazing reunion was made possible through social media.

“I found him on Facebook and I wrote him and I said I think I’m your sister,” says Abercrombie.

Adopted at birth, she had been searching for her biological family her entire life. Thanks to unsealed adoption records and Facebook, she found her brothers and father, who all thought she was dead.

“My dad and mom has separated at the time and mom wasn’t able to take care of me, so she gave me up for adoption and didn’t tell my dad anything about it. He asked her when they got back together, where is the baby she said that she died at birth,” she says.
