Listen "Doe's DNA Surprise"
Episode Synopsis
What never fails to surprise me is how innocently DNA surprises begin. In this episode, we hear from Doe - yes, that’s a pseudonym - who uncovered her DNA surprise in 2021.
A skillful genealogist, Doe bought a DNA test for her husband, who was curious about his family history. As it just so happened, she purchased the test during a buy one, get one free sale, so she decided to take a test herself. When she received her results, she learned that not only was her birth certificate father not her biological father, but that the story she’d always believed about her mother was false.
In this episode, she shares how the discovery and the continued secrecy have affected her, and how she uses her experience to help others.
Thank you for sharing your story, Doe.
