Anyone ever write to Oprah?

I know it sounds funny. But I really would like to know if anyone of you has followed up on that funny thought that traveled through your brain one day. "Maybe I should write a letter to Oprah or Maury". I have had that thought myself, but never did anything with it. I have been looking for 5 years with nothing but brick walls. Someday I will be desperate enough to do it.
I'd love to hear your stories!

Red face Yes

I wrote to Oprah a few times, and only recieved a form letter response. I'm not sure if shows like those will really tackle the tough searches like the ones where no names are known. They tend to be only interested after you have completed your search so that they can show the emotional first meeting/reunion. Good luck if you pursue it.

Post Talk shows

Hello Sandi

I wrote to Oprah and Montel and guess what I haven't heard a word from either one of those shows.

I wrote to them just recently so maybe they need time writing back but they never acknowledged that the received my letters.

Thumbs up Oprah show

Yes, I wrote to Oprah just recently and received an e-mail stating that it takes some time to respond to the many e-mail's they receive daily. It's in God's hands. God bless all of you.

Me Too

Oprah has those moments of sensitivity that me and my fiancee enjoy sharing.

I too have written Oprah and offered to be a reunion subject, with my bfamily reuniting with me there.

But in that business it takes producers alot of time to engineer these shows. I do not expect a reply yet as millions are moved to write her weekly.

Colin

Unhappy yes i've e-mailed oprah

YES I HAVE WRITTEN TO OPRAH, JENNY JONES QUEEN LATIFA AND HAD NO LUCK FROM ANY OF THEM. BUT I HAVEN'T TRIED MAURY MAYBE I SHOULD. I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR SEARCH AND GOD BLESS. I EVEN WROTE TO 1-800 BIG HUGS AND TOLD THEM THAT MY HEART WENT OUT TO THE FAMILY THAT LOST LOVED ONES ON SEPT 11 01 BUT AT LEAST THEY KNEW WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM. WHEN YOUR SEARCHING FOR A LOST LOVED ONE YOU DON'T KNOW IF THEIR DEAD OR ALIVE, BUT JUST PRAYING FOR US TO BE REUNITED AGAIN ONEDAY BECAUSE I WILL NEVER GIVE UP.JUST KEEP THE FAITH THATS THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME GOING OR ELSE I WOULDN'T MAKE IT FROM ONE DAY UNTIL THE NEXT.SINCERLY DEBRA PINNER ****INSON

TALK SHOWS

I ALWAYS THINK OF THIS OPTION AROUND THE HOLIDAYS BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN WE THE PEOPLE USUALLY SEE THE SHOWS. A FEW YEARS AGO I WROTE A 2 PAGE LETTER TO SALLY JESSE RAPHAL(SP?) BUT I NEVER SENT IT. I LOVE THE IDEA OF THEM FINDING MY B/MOM AND I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE THAT HARD FOR THEM DUE TO THEIR LARGE #S OF RESOUCES. I KNOW MY BIRTH NAME WHICH IS ARENETTE AND I KNOW THE HOSP. I WAS IN AND MY LAST NAME. IT HASN'T DONE ME ANY GOOD BUT I THINK THEY MIGHT FIND IT USEFUL. PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE ADOPTIVE FAMILIES ARE LIKETHEY COULD BE ANYTHING FROM CRACK ADDICTS TO MILLIONARE AND I DON'T THINK I WOULD WANT TO SHARE THAT FIRST MEETING WITH THE WORLD. I HAVE VERY BIG EXPRESSIVE EYES THAT FROM TIME TO TIME GET ME IN TROUBLE BECAUSE YOU CAN READ MY EYES FOR MY THOUGHTS.
