Growing up, Melonie Dodaro never knew her biological father. As she aged, she always wondered about him. Over the years, she kept up her search for him — but she generally kept her fervid search private.
As she grew older, she became more intent on finally finding him — so she finally took the plunge and posted everything she knew about the mystery man. He was Dutch and named Cees de Jong: That's the only information she had. But within a few days her story began to snowball and, thanks to some helpful people in the Netherlands, Melonie actually found a phone number.
Like the siblings who had been separated for 37 years, Melonie had no idea what to expect when she made that all too important phone call. But on the other end of the line, a half a world away, a man picked up the phone.
It turns out that her dear old dad has made quite a name for himself. He lives in Thailand, and has two children; a boy and a girl named Elvis and Priscilla. While that may seem a strange choice of names at first, it all makes sense when you realize that Cees de Jong is one of the country's most famous Elvis impersonators!
