Hey tyra...
I dont know if u really take the time to read these comments. But, i am a 22 year old man from Jersey city . nj. Tyra... i am in so much need of help. Here's my story. about 14 years ago my younger brothers carlos and steven were taken away from our mom, due to past drug use. and sence that faithfull day i havnt seened them, what makes my situation worst is that i just found out that my grandmother has cancer and wont live to long to see my brother again . Her wish is to see them before she goes, and i want that more then ever, alot of my family does no know this but, i cry myself to sleep every night thinking of them both. It's been that for about 2 years now. Tyra, my heart is broken and it has been for the last 14 years . My dream is to one day hug both carlos and steven . IF i have to i will fight to find them both, But, i need to see them . I know my brothers info, carlos was born , CARLOS DAVID COLON , on december 13th 1987 , now he would be 20 years of age . When he was adopted the family changed his lastname to lopez, so therefore its now CARLOS DAVID LOPEZ . I know for a fact he is in LITHIA, Florida . I also know that steven my other younger brother is with him, so i am glad to know that there together . This is to painfull for me to know that u have brothers i have not seen in over 13 years. Now i think carlos would remember but as for steven i dont think he know's much because he was to young when this happend. I know people are alwayz asking for your help and asking for money , in all honesty. All i want is for you to help me. This would mean the world to me. Your an amazing person who has been threw alot and i alwayz watch your show every 5pm on UPN, but, i choose you because your a great person , your smart , and eduacted as well as beautifull. Tyra if there is a god. I do hope you take the Time to read this . I really do. My grandmother doesnt have much time and honestly.. either do i . I miss them both so much it hurts to think of them. I hope my words goes as far as i'm writing ...into your heart. IF theres anything else you would like to know. you can contact me at my email which is EL_BORICUA_MAS_LINDO2005@YAHOO.COM
I am greatfull person and i am happy for whatever outcome this turns out. I hope there is some one out there who takes the time to read this. I would really be happy with the help. Thank you for everything , I so hope i one day get to hug them both .

Francisco colon

I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well.

What's up Tyra!!!
Always lookin' FIERCE!!!!!

Seriously though, I am in desperate need of your help. See the thing is, I am 26 years old and I have 3 Older Siblings and 5 younger. We all are in contact except for my younger sister. I have never met her before due to the fact that she was given away to a foster/adoptive family straight from birth. I grew up with my 7 other siblings, and the 2 baby girls were given away. For years I have searched the Internet,(yahoo, google, Zabasearch, etc), to find my babysisters with no luck. Last week I was on Myspace and I typed in my babysisters name and this picture came up. Just by looking at the picture I could tell that she was my sister. I showed my oldest sister, and she felt the same way. She left her name and number, and we got a call. IT WAS MY LIL' SISTER!!!!!!!!!!
At first she was scared because the woman who raised her never told her that she comes from another family. But after she talked to her mother and the woman finally told her everything, She was so excited. We've only spoken over the phone, but we're supposed to meet her Tomorrow. I cannot Wait, I am Thrilled.
Now there is 1 more sister left for me to find and my life will be complete. I really don't have that much information about her but my mother betta know somethin'. The only information that I have is her birth name: Lynette Weaver, Her age now should be 17, She was born in New York around 1988-1990 and her birth mother's name is Frances Weaver. Tyra I really need your help and if you need any other information Please contact me at: diedraweaver@hotmail.com

Dear Tyra,
I was adopted when I was about three years old. I am only fourteen years old right now, but I would do anything to meet my biological father. I know his name, but that's about it. I mean, I love the family I'm with, but there's just a part of me that needs to meet him. I've tried internet services, but they all cost money, and because I'm not over eighteen, I have almost no power in this regard. I just want to meet him, or to have a way to contact him. Please, I'm begging you, help me find him. This means more to me than anything else in my life. Please.
Much love Always,
Meagan.
P.S. I love your show and you're always really helpful to people :) You're my role model.

Dear Tyra,
You are such an inspiration to me!! I love you and your shows( tyra and America's Next Top Model) I have a problem though!! I am 12 years old and I am in the seventh grade. My school( Fairmont Jr. High) goes on an annual trip to Washington D.C. and NYC. I will go next year when I am an 8th grader. Me and my friend Jessica Franks both need $2192 to go!! And the deadline is June 1st 2008!! i really need your help! My mom might be able to pay some. She is a single mom and has gone through quite a lot for me and my older sister. She is the bomb!! I love her so much!! Me and my friend were going to hold a yard sale, but that will not pay for the whole amount! Is there any way you could help? It would be greatly appreciated! Please help us raise the $4384!!

Hello Tyra,
My name is Ashley, I am a 21 yr old single mother in search of my father. I just don't know where to start. I've never known my father or any of his family. All I know is his name, ethnic background, age, and that he MAYBE passed before I was born. When I was little my mother would tell me little to no info, but as I got older and ask questions she would act as if she forgot all about him. Some family members tell me that he has tried to contact me so he cant be DEAD! Please Tyra, all I know is that I am black and italian, but I don't have any knowledge of my italian side.....Please!!
Ashley

Hi Tyra,
I am despeate to find my birth mother. I don't even know where to start, and I can't afford to make a trip to the hospital where I was born, in Clovis, California. I'm pregnant with my first child and am due this August. I feel that a part of me is missing and want her to be there when my child is born, if not after to be a part of our life. Please, if you can help please contact me! I really am desperate and don't know what else to do! Thank you for any help you can provide!

Tyra, this is the second time that I've write to you in search for my half brother. I've searched almost everywhere and have made some progress, but I feel like I'm stuck. I really want to get in touch with him because he is apart of me. I'm the only child and would love to meet the brother I've never met. Tyra, please help me!

I would like to find my birth son born March 28, 1967 in Portland OR at Emanuel Hospital. He was adopted by an OR family at birth, actually the week following his birth, through Dr.David Moore, now deceased. The adoptive parents were professionals and already had 2-3 children. I really need to know if he is OK.
I got pregnant at age 20 in San Francisco CA, but delivered the baby in Portland OR at age 21.

Dear Tyra, I am a Asain Ugandan am from a small town called Hoima me parents had to leave back in the 1972 when Idi Amin had forced us from our own coutry it was so devating and at the age of 11 could not understand why why why this had to happen now I am 47 years of age and want to find my junior high love, he was my age at that time the only thing I could remember is a feww visit went to same public school and his first name. He was a Acholi backgroung and his first name was Ochange whenever I see your program youstate that you read everyone's email and try to help, Ochange has been on my mind alot lately and if you could help at least locate him for me as I have not pictures of him and I know I cannot go over the over renuite.com a loved one..he was my best friend. Thank you Yasmin Khairunnisa

I am giving this reunitepeople site a shot. I let a dear friend move away without getting his information due to me being in a harsh relationship at the time. I finally decided to get out of the bad relationship and let a year go by to "find myself" and decided I want to find my best friend. He always told me to stop going after the "bad boys". I should have listened to him. He actually stood up to one of my ex boyfriends and told him that he could treat me better. I never wanted our friendship to be anything more because I didn't want to risk losing him. I can't get him out of my head. All along, I believe there were signs for me to be with him but I was too young and stubborn to see them until now. Wish me luck in finding the guy of my dreams!

i am 31 i was adopted in indpls.,in. in 1975 it is a "closed file" i have no names or anything to go on i would love to find my family my adopted mom died in 2004 and i am very lonely please tyra help me i love you and how strong you are i wish i was like that

Hi Tyra.
Post 3 of the day, but I think this one is the most important one.
My father Was married a second time around, before my mother, and he had a son. A wonderful husband, maybe not, but he is a good dad. They were divorced, and my father's 2nd wife and son, were gone. My dad went looking for him, even all the way to the Dominican Republic, and nothing. It's sad that my dad hasn't a clue what happened to his son, and it sucks that I don't know who my brother is.
I was looking around online, and even found a website of a guy, with my brother's name, getting married. I looked at the guy closely, and to me, it looks like it could be him. But I wrote to the owner of the webpage, and he never answered me.
I wish there was a way to contact the web owner, and I would really love if you could help me.

that's the website, and I really think it could be him.

Thanks for reading.
