I Found My Birth Father!

Beautiful!!Blessings to you!!

happy for you. i wish you all good things

Congratulations 🎉 I still haven’t been able to get my bio dad to communicate with me or take a test, but like you, at last I know now. My half sister told me he knew my mother and was most likely the father.

I'm so happy for you!!!!! I hope you and your birth family get the connections and answers that you want but regardless, I'm very inspired by you and your bravery. You are a strong woman. You sought your answers but allowed people time and space to process things on their own.

I've been watching all of your videos! You should submit your journey to a TV show. A podcast. A YouTuber with a big following. You have soooooo much to offer other adoptees and people who are tracking ancestry, though convoluted family history. Also you're very articulate and entertaining and have a soothing voice.

Just found your video. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story 🙌🏼 I love watching your journey and how you speak ❤️🙌🏼

Oh man, just binged this journey, and I’m so happy you found him! That’s amazing! It sounds like you have found some pretty great siblings, that’s so exciting! I really hope that this happy ending is just the first of so many for you. Tbh, I feel closure now that you know. Secondhand closure. I’m so happy for you.

ure so strong and brave

Thank you for your videos.

Congrats on finding your bio dad. DNA isn't confusing. It's fairly straightforward AND you don't necessarily need a bio parent to take a DNA test to prove who they are. I've found a bunch of bio parents that have never taken a test. Same principles as how the Golden State Killer was discovered. Good luck on your new journey. 💞

I never knew my father, he denied me as his daughter, so I had nothing to do with him, until a decade ago, I met my grandparents and after that I met my father about a week later... but I class him as my sperm donor nothing more, I've done the Ancestry DNA test, just waiting for the results...

Whoa! This was published right around when the lockdown happened. How has the quarantine affected your "family" journey?

I was able to figure out who the birth parents of my maternal grandmother were using DNA. I put my DNA, my brother's DNA and my Mom's DNA on every DNA ancestry site I could find. I also published my grandmother's story on adoptee sites too. After several years I got two emails in July of 2019. One was from my grandmothers' mom's side and the other was from her dad's side. It was crazy. What are the chances of after about 40 years of searching, both sides of my grandmother's family would email me in the same year and month? Wild. So on the father's side, GEDmatch was where that distant cousin was looking. He couldn't understand why there was such a big DNA link of my mom's DNA and his. He said that he was from a small family and knew everyone in his family---so who was I???? On the maternal side , it was an adoption site where searches for family are posted that helped. You post your story and you hope someone will recognize your story and match up. So I was contacted by my distant cousin and she had read my post and also seen 23andMe matches of me and many of my family to her DNA. She said that when her grandmother passed, the grandmother said to her daughter, 'I had a baby that I gave up for adoption, please find it." She didn't say if the baby was a boy or girl, where the baby was born, how come it was put up for adoption, no details, just find the baby. So after over 100 years everyone put together the story and DNA is what confirmed the relationships. It took forever and I had kind of given up. I also prayed a lot too!!!

congratulations, not many can find their family

So u accept the ancestry as 100% accurate? I just found my biological dad on ancestry DNA as well. Do u think doing a paternity test is also needed or not? Thanks in advance.

do you have any ideas how to get ideas

I still don’t know my bio father but I know my mom

I been having the hardest time try to find my husband parental side he never meet them at all he really wants to aleast know something of his father we don’t know his birthday etc so it’s super hard I’m praying so hard we found out something before his 33 birthday 6/20 his dna already came back on ancestry just don’t understand how to match who and what

and so how did you find your birth father and what are your websites do you recommend

There's still a hole that's not filled yet.
