<p>Oprah Winfrey has discovered a secret half-sister.</p>
<p>The talk show host told viewers that a Milwaukee woman named Patricia had found out that the two were related. </p>
<p>After years of searching for the identity of the mother who gave her up for adoption in the 1960s, Patricia learned in 2007 that Oprah was her half-sister. On The Oprah Winfrey Show the presenter revealed she learned about Patricia last November and met her on Thanksgiving day.</p>
<p>An emotional Oprah described the discovery as &#8220;the miracle of all miracles&#8221; and said one of the most impressive things was that her half-sister never tried to profit from her.</p>
<p>&#8220;She never once thought to sell the story,&#8221; Oprah said, describing how she felt betrayed by other relatives who sought publicity or money.</p>
<p>&#8220;Family business should be handled by family,&#8221; Patricia said on the show. &#8220;It couldn&#8217;t be handled by anyone else. That&#8217;s not fair. It wouldn&#8217;t be fair to you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oprah &#8211; who is ending the successful chat show at the end of the season after 25 years at the helm &#8211; had previously told viewers that she would have a reunion of her own on the show. She wouldn&#8217;t say with whom &#8211; only that it involved something she had learned about recently and was known to just a few people close to her.</p>
<p>Oprah said she was nine-years-old and living with her father when her mother had the daughter and gave her up for adoption. The host never even knew her mother was pregnant.</p>
<p>She was born to unmarried teenagers, Vernon Winfrey and Vernita Lee, and raised at various times by a grandmother, her mother, and her father and stepmother in Mississippi, Wisconsin and Tennessee, according to the star and various biographies.</p>
<p>However, Kitty Kelley&#8217;s unauthorised 2010 biography alleges that Vernon Winfrey isn&#8217;t Oprah&#8217;s biological father. Kelley also claims that she discovered the actual father&#8217;s identity but was keeping it secret until Oprah learns the truth herself.</p>
