Siblings reunited through MySpace

MySpace query leads to family reunion:
Not only do we have a story where MySpace does some real good but it’s also out of Florida. Someone check the temperature of hell please. Or maybe it’s Opposite Day…

When St. Petersburg teen Christina Lynch, 16, accessed her MySpace account in August, an e-mail from “Jake” awaited her, the St. Petersburg Times reported Wednesday.

They established a thread. Jake asked questions, Lynch supplied answers. Then, the newspaper said, came THE exchange:

“i am pretty sure that i know u. do u know if you have any brothers or sisters. I might know them,” Jake wrote.

“are u my brother? i have a brother named jacob and he should be 19 this is kinda weird,” Lynch replied.

Lynch was separated from her brothers, Jake and Josh Melancon, for 12 years, the newspaper said. The brothers, adopted by the same family, tried to locate her without success — until Jake searched MySpace and remembered the last name of his sister’s adoptive mother.

They met in St. Petersburg seven hours after Jake Melacon clicked on Lynch’s MySpace page. Before the brothers reached to their Sarasota home, Lynch had posted photos of the reunion.
