The Birch Show. Hey, April. Yes, good morning. Good morning. I'm so glad we got in touch with you this

morning. I love your story. Well, thank you. Now, I haven't told there's about half of the staff here

that has zero idea who you are or what this story is. So can you sort of piece it together for them?

Okay, well, basically, my name is April Becker-Antonio, but I've always gone by

Antonio, my stepfather's name, and I've never met my real father, and I'm 30 years old,

so I've gone through 30 years, my whole life, I have two kids, and I just met my father

for the first time a week ago.

Oh, there's so much more to it than that.

There's so much more to within that.

Well, I think you have to go, when you were not with your father,

at what point did you start, did it first, did finding him first start to interest you?

Well, I'd always been looking for him, but I just didn't have a whole lot of information.

So I just had, you know, bits and pieces, fragments.

I knew his name, and I knew how old he was, and that was about it.

I had no idea where he might be living or if he was even living, if he was alive or dead,

or if he had done something good with his life, or if he was a total jerk-off, I just, you know, I didn't know.

And what were the details of the initial separation?

Well, I don't have a lot of information there.

I basically, for many, many years of questioning, I just say, you know what, it's not really

any of my business why they separated.

My issue is obviously, of course, the fact that they both handled it poorly.

They, you know, they shouldn't have allowed whatever differences they had to get in the way
