Robert Reunites with Family He Never Knew

September 29th, 2008

Noemi and her 8 siblings knew their father had previously married and had a son, Robert, 51 years ago, but they’d never met him. Noemi knew that family was important, so rather than sit and wonder what happened to this lost sibling, she searched online.

“I learned he went to the same school I graduated from,” Noemi says, so she looked up Robert’s graduation year and name on Reunion.com’s free High School Class List. There he was, with his mother’s maiden name!

“We immediately connected,” she says. While the two learned they’d once practically been neighbors, the real surprise was that Robert had never been told about his parents’ relationship. “He was shocked to find out he had 9 biological brothers and sisters and a step-sister.”

Robert met his extended family in June; although his father’s health kept him from the reunion, Noemi says there’s still time.

“Christmas is when the entire family gets together. This year, if all goes well, my father will meet his son after 50 years! Thank you, Reunion.com. I don’t think I would have found him without you.”
