Stephanie Brumlow, 25, spent 12 years looking for her father, whom she had never met. She made phone calls and searched the Internet for James A. Boyd countless times, to no avail.
Last Monday, a friend suggested she try to find him on Facebook. She was skeptical, but had five minutes to kill before class started at Lone Star College in Houston, Texas. She searched for the name, and friended one of the people that Facebook produced.
Twelve hours later, she had her first-ever communication with her dad, a Facebook message asking who her mother was. Three days after that, they had an emotional meeting at Lone Star College.
It was amazing, like a childhood dream come true, Brumlow told AOL News. I really don't think I would have found him any other way.
