(Nov. 7) -- After 30 years of looking for his daughter -- and spending tens of thousands of dollars in the process -- Dr. Scott Becker finally found the woman he last saw as an infant.
It was a simple Web page that had no photos or graphics or moving parts, just a heartfelt message, that brought them together.

"Dear April," the page reads. "I'm your dad and I would really like to talk to ya."
Almost a decade ago, reported Atlanta's WXIA-TV, Scott Becker created the site just in case his daughter April happened to look for her father using an online search engine.
They were separated when Becker's wife -- April's mother -- left him and took the baby with her shortly after April was born.
About two weeks ago, April searched Google with the phrase "Scott Becker looking for April," WGCL-TV in Atlanta reported. She previously had searched his name, but never that specific phrase. Her father's Web site popped up.
April, who now goes by April Becker Antoniou, sent an e-mail to the address on the site.
Her father replied by asking her a question only the 30-year-old would know -- "Are you a green baby?" The question referred to her birthday, St. Patrick's Day.
They reunited this week in Atlanta -- Antoniou now lives in Georgia. Her children also met their grandfather for the first time.
"I just felt like I wasn’t complete and now I feel peace,” Antoniou told WGCL.

Remarkable Reunions
Steve Smith's written declaration of love for his former fiancee Carmen Ruiz-Perez remained unopened after it fell behind her mother's fireplace. It wasn't until a renovation more than a decade later that his message finally got to his sweetheart.
