Thanks to MyHeritage DNA, Daughter Finds Father Who Never Knew She Existed

I've been so scared ever since I sent in my swabs. I'm 17 and my mother never told me who was father was. I hope this gives me answers.

These stories bring back so many pleasant memories of meeting my birth mother when I was 25. This just brings pleasant tears to my eyes !

I’m so glad you got to meet your father.

I didn’t find out I was adopted until I was 49 years old. On top of that I was the result of a short fling between two middle age divorcees so when I got my results back my bio father had just died at the age of 94 and my 90 year old mother was in the late stages of Alzheimer’s. I did met her on her death bed but she was no longer communicating. Not knowing if my father knew about me or not is the worst. Maybe it’s better I don’t know. I guess having a relationship with my bio parents just wasn’t meant to be for me. But I hold a lot of resentment toward my adopted parents and sister for keeping this secret from me all those years.

Please note that siblings are listed as 1st cousins sometimes. My sister just found me!

My daughter found me through Ancestry DNA she's 32 years old and beautiful. I'm a grandfather now. Can't wait to meet her 😁

My step adopted father just passed away. My last parent. WELL my birth father is out there some where. He has no idea about me. I hope I find him. Pray for me please everyone I find him.

Beautiful story. I found a second cousin using ancestry and my heritage. I've connected a lot of my family together. Family history is a wonderful thing.

What a beautiful daughter / father pair! Beautiful story.

All I can say is that if you reach out to find the person you are looking for, have enough class to follow through and don't break their heart. I have a daughter that I did not know about and after she found out I was not wealthy, she cut off all correspondence. I wish she would have never contacted me now.

I have recently discovered a 2nd half cousin through ancestry dna. It turned out that our relation was fairly strong we shared the same great grandmom and her grand pop was my half great uncle. I have spoken with her since January and I am very scared that she will reject me and ditch me but since then she has said she enjoys talking to me and doesnt want to let me go. This whole experience has been life changing. Thanks for sharing your story

Beautiful 🙏🏼

L O V E this story. So wonderful! Congrats on finding your Dad !!! Your expression @ 4:02 is PRICELESS!

God Bless You and Your Family Through All of the Wonderful Days Ahead 💗. Love From Alaska

I watch these videos to keep my hope alive. I've been searching for my biological dad for quite some time now and although I've got some 2nd-3rd cousin matches on Ancestry and MyHeritage I still haven't found him. I've sent out so many msgs to different people and 92% have never responded back. I'm not giving up so wish me luck. I'm not sure if he even knows I exist because I was told someone else was my dad my entire life until I took a dna test trying to find some maternal family history, imagine my surprise when I found out my life has been one big lie.😢

And yet there are kids who don’t get how important their parents are…..and the live close by. It’s exhausting to have such spoiled people who take it all for granted.

Awesome! God bless!

My husband was adopted. He had never felt the need to look. Then his dad passed in 2020. He also turned 50 last year and felt if he didn't start looking now he may never be able find anyone alive. He did ancestry late last year and matched with his bio mom and 2 half siblings. Unfortunately he has not been able to make contact. He wrote his bio mom through ancestry giving her updates on his life and asking for family medical history and a relationship if that is what she wanted. She read the message but didn't respond. He doesn't want to stir the pot so just left it at that. His siblings haven't logged in in over a year. We are not sure on the dad side. It's showing a 1st cousin but they haven't signed in either.

Blinking back the tears

There are so many wonderful stories out there about people who have found loved ones through My Heritage DNA. But there are other similar organisations out there, organisations that offer the same services. It would be a great idea if there was a central data base where all the records of these people can be stored and accessed. It would be sad if 2 people seeking each other had their DNA results on data bases that were different and inaccessible to each other.
