Oprah Winfrey says she recently learned she has a half-sister put up for adoption by her mother nearly 50 years ago.
Oprah introduced a woman she identified only as Patricia on her show today.
She says the woman's years-long search for her family culminated in a meeting with Winfrey on U-S Thanksgiving last year.
Winfrey calls the discovery ``the miracle of all miracles.''
She says she was stunned to learn about the sibling, telling her audience that when Patricia was born in 1963, Winfrey was 8-years-old and living with her father.
She didn't know her mother was pregnant.
Patricia says 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 had known since 2007 that the two were related, but she never attempted to profit off her discovery or contact the media because she wanted to talk to Oprah.
