Nairobi — The American woman who recently reunited with her Kenyan father after 28 years has met her siblings.
Ms Tramaine Chelang'at Hugie met her 22-year-old stepsister Kerubo Obare and her 25-year-old stepbrother Mogeni Obare at the Jevanjeee gardens, according to an e-mail she wrote to the Nation.
"They warmly welcomed me in Jevanjee Gardens on Wednesday," she said in the e-mail.
Ms Chelang'at said her stepbrother didn't know he had an elder sister until the Daily Nation broke the story of the reunion.
"My brother first discovered he had an older sister when he saw me and his father on the cover of the Nation," said Ms Chelang'at in the e-mail. "He called his father yesterday to ask if it was true."
"My sister has a beautiful 9-month-old son and lovely husband," she added.
"My brother and sister live in Nairobi and the three of us look forward to getting to know each other."
Since the story broke, Ms Chelang'at said she has received several congratulatory e-mails.
She said she also has received correspondence from Austria and the US.
