Sheesh she never ceases to amaze me!! Oprah is indeed that CHICK... She revealed that she has a sister she had no clue about... The best thing about all this information was that her new sister Patricia knew Oprah was her sister for 7 years!!! She wanted to protect Oprah and her privacy so she kept the secret so it wouldn't be more of a scandal than to be reunited!!! Isn't that BEAUTIFUL??? I freaking love Oprah she ROCKS!!!! =)
**Smooches**
Per Miami Herald:
Oprah Winfrey dropped a family bombshell -- the talk show diva has a half-sister. The Milwaukee woman's name is Patricia (no last name given), and she was put up for adoption by Winfrey's mother, Vernita Lee, almost 50 years ago. Winfrey told her audience that when Patricia was born in 1963, Winfrey was 8 and living with her father. Patricia said she had tried years ago to learn the identity of the woman who gave her up for adoption and only started to try again a few years ago at the insistence of her two adult children. Patricia finally got a call from the state adoption agency, which reported that her birth mother did not wish to meet her. Coincidentally, on the local news, she saw a story about Winfrey's mother, who described how two of her children had died. Those details matched information Patricia had seen in adoption papers, which indicated she had two sisters and a brother and that only the older sister was alive. Lee also said that one of the dead children was named Patricia. ``The hairs on the back of my neck stood up,'' Patricia said. ``Because I knew one of my siblings and I shared the same name.'' A DNA test confirmed the two are half-sisters.
