Former Houston Astro minor league player Earl Luckett  visited Rayne early Saturday to meet his biological family. 
 

After  52 years of not knowing he was adopted, the meeting was a complete shock.. 

 His youngest sister said, “I just started crying.. I couldn’t believe it.”

52 year old Earl Luckett grew up in Texas, while his five siblings grew up in Rayne. 
 

Earl Luckett said, “I just met my family for the first time.  All my cousins siblings aunts.”

After discovering he was adopted, Luckett took action to quickly find his family. 

“When I recently found out through a funeral… I gathered all my papers and we have been talking since then.”

Lucketts mother passed away in 2006 but his father is alive and well.  He says he had a feeling he had one more son.

72 year old, Voorhies Zeano said, “I told his siblings you have a brother or sister in Houston.. and my dream came true.  I told him I couldn’t wait to see him.”

Although Earl missed 50 years of family time, he plans to see them as often as possible.
