After reading through all of your threads, I am convinced that you are my aunt and your brother is my dad.... and I knew I had a sister named Delana.... (I had brief letter writing contact with my dad when he found me when I was a teenager, and he told me about Delana... I think Delana was about 6 at the time... but my dad and I lost contact and I haven't been able to find him again. I think you and I even wrote back and forth for a little time!). I've just never met any of you! I'm posting this to both threads you had started, so if anyone can help me contact you, please! I've been trying to find my dad and Delana for so long. My name is Barbara Frances O'Dell born on 04/09/1974. I just want to meet the other half of my life, and that is all of you! My mom is Sherry Dee (Ray) Paris. My grandmothers are Mary Frances O'Dell and Barbara Jane (Hamrick and then Ray) Gentile.

Please help me find my dad and sister that I've never met!

Barbara

I just sent Sherry a message through her My Space. She was on earlier today so she may not get back to you until tomorrow.

Thank you soooooo much, Susan!! I got a response this morning from her. She is my aunt, and her brother is my dad.... Delana is my half sister! I'm so happy... after all these years. I will be responding back to Sherry and she'll give me my dad's #. She said she immediately called him when she got the message and he started crying. I don't even know what to say, but thank you very much!

I am very happy for you. Sherry is a very nice person. Ask her to give you her MySpace page and you can converse that way with her and see her picture. Delana also has a MySpace page. I don't remember if it had her picture on it or not, but I remember there were pictures.
Hope all works out well for you all and best of luck in the future.
