Daughter Meets Biological Dad Who She Tracked Down On Facebook For First Time

A woman has shared a tear-filled first-ever hug with her biological father after 25 years, having tracked him down through Facebook and then waited four years to finally meet. Maria Robinson, 25, from North Carolina, didn't know her biological dad, Jorge, who lives in California, growing up but always had the urge to find him. Jorge met Maria's mom while he was working in Alaska, and though the pair dated, they were never serious, Maria said. Years later, Maria started looking for her father and was able to track him down through Whitepages. She then started researching her relatives' names, and having reached out to whom she believed to be her sister, Hailey, on Facebook, Maria received an enthusiastic response. That was pre-COVID, and after the pandemic had passed – and having made contact with Jorge, 53 – Maria decided it was time to finally meet her father. She and Hailey arranged the visit, which saw Maria arrive at Jorge’s house in California on July 3.
