John's DNA Surprise

How often do we hear on this show that people never felt like they fit in with their families growing up? This week’s guest, John, reveals that he felt the same way, and even held onto some guilt around his feelings. Fast forward to a little over two years ago, when his daughter took a DNA test and unearthed a surprise for the entire family: John wasn’t biologically related to any of the family he grew up with, because he was adopted as a newborn.

John shares how this discovery has affected him and the steps he took to uncover more information about his origin story. While he hasn’t connected with his biological parents, and doesn’t particularly feel the need to, he also discusses why he’s open to changing his position, especially for his children.

Thank you for sharing your story, John.
