My Story

I was raised by a heterosexual couple who are now divorced. I was told I was DC when I was 9 and left home when I was 16. I submitted DNA to the major databases when I was 20 and identified my donor father through extended family DNA when I was 23. He submitted his DNA to AncestryDNA to confirm paternity. I have been in contact with him and his family since then (2017). My first DC sibling contacted me through 23andme when I was 25 (2019), and we expect more siblings to pop up over time.

I MADE A MATCH!

Yes!
