PART 1 | BACKGROUND OR SUMMARY OF THE ARTICLE
Title of Article: FINDING PAPA – AT LAST!
Name of Magazine: KERYGMA
Issue: September 2010
Volume: 20
The magazine article is focused on Karen Estrella's search for her biological father and finally meeting him through Facebook. Karen, now 29, grew up with her grandparents at a very infantile age. Being the innocent child she was way back, she thought that her grandparents were her biological parents that's why she used to call them Nanay and Tatay. Her biological mother left her when she was born, but took her back when she was four. But, her mother had already a family of her own that time, causing her to feel isolated from the family.
Karen was 16 or 17 then when she first knew the truth behind her real identity. She was trying to look for retro clothes for a school event so Karen rummaged through her mom's old luggage when she found some old photos of her Mom's past boyfriends. She browsed through them and stopped at a solo picture of a guy. She was somehow sure that the man in the picture was her real father. Karen also saw birthday cards written to her by her dad, which contains statements that he was her real father. As she continued looking through the luggage, she came across love letters of his dad to her mom. By that time, she already learned that her dad was already a family man when she was conceived in the womb of her mom.
This made Karen desperate to meet her father. Carrying the letter with her, she went with a cousin to find her dad. But then, she felt that it was not yet the time to meet him, fearing that she would only cause trouble to the present family of her father.
Years later, she gave birth to her second son, Christian. Christian didn't pass his preliminary hearing test, so the doctors asked Karen and her husband about their families' medical history. This rattled Karen so much because she didn't know much about her father's side.
