With the assistance of an amateur private investigator she contacted on Facebook, a woman was able to effectively reunite with her long-lost father, a man who was completely unaware that she existed.

At the age of 13, Adrieanna Tyler had the impression that she was familiar with her biological father until she overheard him refer to her as his stepdaughter.

Since that time, she has had a burning desire to learn the identity of her biological father, but she has never been able to track down any information about him.

She is a mother of three children and is currently 33 years old. She is married to a truck driver and lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She recalled, “I was desperate to identify my biological father; it was always essential to me.”

This year, she decided to pick up the search again, and she did so by purchasing a DNA test kit and getting in touch with a Facebook community whose members help complete strangers get back in touch with long-lost relatives.

After conducting yet another DNA test, we were finally able to identify my aunt thanks to the assistance of this incredible member of the group who goes by the name Suzanne.

They were able to find her aunt, Kathie Johnson, who is 47 years old, and then they learned that her biological father was a police officer in Florida who lived a thousand miles away.

“She promised that she would put me in touch with my father, and the anticipation was killing me! How exactly does one go about inquiring of another, “Are you my father?”

According to the information provided by Adrieanna to the SWNS news service, Joseph Frank was pleased to learn that in addition to having another daughter, he now had two young grandchildren.

“When he found out about me, he was overjoyed, and it was a tremendous source of relief. When I first met him, I was terrified that he wouldn’t be interested in me at all.

Joseph flew all the way from Florida to Pennsylvania so that they could finally meet one another for the first time in person after getting to know one another over the course of a month through daily messaging and video chatting.

It was great that we were able to spend some time getting to know one other before we actually met in person. It felt like a dream.”

They first connected the previous week at a community event that was held close to her home, and they are currently making plans for a family vacation.

During the difficult conversation, they ate pizza together, and she found out that she has two half-sisters who are the same age as her.

Dad Joseph echoed the sentiment, saying, “It’s been quite wonderful. The ways of God are impossible to fathom.

“When Adrieanna came into my life, I was going through a challenging breakup, and I needed it a lot more than I realized at the time.

When I found out about my baby, it seemed like a hole in my heart had been permanently filled.

While working on his uncle’s farm in the 1980s, Joseph remembers having a “summer romance” with Adrieanna’s mother. This took place in the decade. According to Joseph, they were good friends but after that they lost touch completely and he had no idea that she had been pregnant at any point.

“He shared with me that having children was something he had always wanted and that he was overjoyed to become my parent.

Adrieanna referred to the time Joseph spent with the family as a “strange experience” after he had been there for three days.

It stirred up a lot of strong feelings. I sobbed all weekend. You won’t realize how similarly you look to someone else until you’re standing right next to them.

“It’s crazy to believe that I’ve been waiting my whole life for that very second.”

It was absolutely worth the time we had to wait.

Joseph said, “At first, we were both nervous, but we quickly discovered that we have many things in common.”

“It was a pleasure to see my grandchildren, Maximus, who is four, and Preslee, who is two.” We didn’t rush things, but by the time I left, they were getting agitated about the fact that I was leaving.

It is incredibly exciting that we can now start making plans for our future together.

Adrieanna shared her thoughts, stating, “I couldn’t stop thinking that there is a dad out there who should know he had two grandchildren.” I didn’t want to die knowing I hadn’t tried.”

“Now that I am aware that the reason he didn’t want me was because he didn’t even know I existed, I feel as though I can finally start the process of healing.
