The Joe and Mara Story

Please meet my daughter, Mara Keyes.

Back in 1992, I fathered a daughter in Minneapolis that was put up for adoption in Duluth, Minnesota. I don’t feel the need to share the details, but I was in a touring rock band at the time. Maybe you can connect the dots.

I always knew in the back of my mind that this person would someday try to find me. I wasn’t sure when, or how, but I knew it would happen. The birth mother gave her my name years ago and I’m pretty easy to find (incidentally, neither of us currently have any contact with the birth mother).
