Sisters Reunion from Facebook

“Thanks to Facebook and the help of other concerned social media users, an adopted Arizona teenager was able to find her missing half-sister in just a few hours.

Seventeen-year-old Katie Doak of Phoenix had been searching for her half-sister Kelsey for five years and decided to help spread the word about her hunt on Facebook.

She posted a message and a picture of her holding a sign with her birth information on it.

The picture was shared more than 1,000 times and 12 News also ran a piece about her story.

Doak’s sign read: ‘Hello, my name is Katie. My birth name was Katherine Rebecca Leigh Wilson.

‘I was born on Oct. 10, 1997 in Jefferson County, Kentucky.

‘I am seeking out to find my birth mom & half-sister to find out about my biological family.

‘My birth mom’s name is Cynthia Michelle Wilson.

‘She was born May 9th, 1977 (38) in Louisville, Ky. Has moved around to Az, Ky, and In.

‘My sister’s name is Kelsey Wilson. She was born April 16th, 1996 (19) in Ky.

‘PLEASE HELP ME FIND THEM!!!’

She then posted an email address for people to send tips and requested the post be shared.

After just a few hours, someone sent her Wilson’s contact information.

While she was scrolling through her sister’s profile, Doak saw she had also made a sign.

Wilson’s sign read: ‘Hi, my name is Kelsey. I’m looking for my sister!

‘Her name is Katherine Rebecca Wilson. As far as we know, she lives in Arizona.

‘Her birth mother’s name is Cynthia Wilson. Please ‘share’ this and help me find her!’

The sisters were able to get in touch by messaging one another and then had a long talk the following day.

Doak was adopted as an 18-month-old toddler and has always known it.

She did become curious about finding her birth mother and sister when she was in eighth grade.”
