    In reply to: dotty posted an update Just sent in my dna to familytreedna and also I am going through my matches from ancestry. View

    Hey @dotty how did your results go? Have you submitted to 23andMe yet? DonorChildren is about to become an affiliate partner with 23andMe so if you are soon you can go through DonorChildren and help support keeping the site up! If you have any questions about your DNA results make a post in the Forums and I and others would love to help.
