Lee gave up her daughter for adoption because she felt she had no other choice.

It wasn't until 2011 that Oprah and Patricia reunited on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

On the show, Oprah said: "It is true that my mother is also Patricia's birth mother. That means Patricia is my half-sister who I never knew existed.

"I was 9 years old at the time of [Patricia's adoption], living with my father in Nashville, Tennesse. I had no idea my mother was even pregnant."
