Awesome! Glad we could help. Please keep us updated on your testing and search, and don’t forget to buy your tests through links here on DonorChildren so the site stays funded and free. The tests cost the same no matter where you buy them.

Wow!! Okay thank you so much! You’ve both given me so much to think about. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me with this and for sharing your stories.
I will definitely be checking out those sites and will probably get my DNA tested.
Thanks again!!

Hi! I tested with all the sites (23andMe, Ancestry, FTDNA) simply because I am hoping to run across half-siblings. As for medical information, I used Promethease, which cost me $5 and gave a general — albeit messy — synopsis of a lot of genetic tendencies toward cancer, mental illness, etc. You upload your raw genome from your DNA test (from…[Read more]

1) I have not had any sort of contact with the sperm donor as his information was private so I have no idea who he even is. The only reason I’ve done the DNA sites was to try and figure out the roots of my nationality as well as any medical issues I might need to be on the look out for. I don’t have any interest in being buddies.. though I am…[Read more]

That makes sense. You have to go at your own pace. Just don’t let my story scare you off. I have a worse case story. Many work out really well. The only way you’ll get family history is by finding your family. DNA and DonorChildren are your best bets for finding family/half-sibs. DNA is definitely a must. You never know you may have…[Read more]

Thank you so much for responding!! Yes, I want the information but I’m not really wanting to get connected with people from his side. At least not right now. So that’s always stopped me from trying these sites. Like you said there’s a lot of stones that could be turned over, and I don’t know if I want that in my life. But yes me and Cori matched…[Read more]

@AnthProf Thanks for your work Dr. Hanson:

1) Yes, by email. He tried to manipulate me then cut off communication. He is very narcissistic and sociopathic. I would like a relationship with my father but unfortunately it likely won’t happen. Occasional emails to make new attempts. Disappointing. He doesn’t give a shit about me. I was a $50…[Read more]

By the way you have a match here on DonorChildren! @cbratbyrudd @kenzyg14 congrats it looks like you are siblings! I simply searched the Members page and saw your ID matched. Make sure you DNA test to confirm.

@kenzyg14 I DNA tested on 23andMe, FTDNA, and Ancestry as well as uploaded my raw data for free to GedMatch.com. I want to encourage you to do the same. It is very important you are on all three databases as your matches may test on any one of them. I tested with 23andMe back in 2012/13 timeframe when it was $300 and health reports were…[Read more]
