Seems like a nice story.

How crappy of her.
What a betrayal of his real parents who raised him.
“I just knew, financially, I wouldn’t be able to do it. And the other thing—I wanted him to have a mother and father, so I decided at that point it was best to put him up for adoption,” said Pressley.
Should’ve stuck with your original plan, Lady! He HAS Parents! He HAS a FAMILY.
Why do people that start out with the best of intentions turn selfish?
I’ll bet she voted for Slow Joe. *Rolleyes*
If only the entire world were as holy as you.
These days, apparently, many peeps have two mommies.
Don’t forget the Chinese hacked all these Dna databases and used them to help create their engineered, targeted biological weapons.
This current one is only a test.
It’s just basic honor.
But I guess some people are just genetic doomed to be trash.
Stories like this tell us to leave orphans in orphanages. Otherwise you’re just raising a cowbird or a cuckoo bird.
The outcome was nice, but did I read correctly that this genetic test supplied the lady with the name of her son without his prior knowledge?
If that is what occured, a few minor changes may be in order. Perhaps the adopted child does not wish to be contacted, at least not at that time.
This is a good tool of investigation, absolutely, but either party should always have the right to say Yes or No to full identification.
23 and me is not government so one cannot be stopped. I’m just glad she chose life. 33 years is long enough. No one will be traumatized by a meeting.
As the wife of an adopted man, I can tell you that it’s something a lot of adoptees want and need. If I had given up a baby for adoption, which is often an honorable thing to do, I would have forever felt the loss. It is an act of love, to give up your own child for his own good, but many adoptees need closure. It took a long time for my husband to forgive his birth mother, but he was finally able to see that it wasn’t that he was unwanted, it was that she was a 16 year old kid who could not make a home for him, especially since her mother had tried to abort him and the father ran off and joined the army; she had no support. She, herself, was unable to have any children after that, adopting two children, years later, after she married.
Possibly - there was a question when ordering the 23andme test that requester is open to notifications?
Possibly - names were not shared unless both agreed.
I doubt if the young man didn’t want to meet her, he would have allowed it.
God bless them both!
We have two adopted sons. Both were adopted either at birth or shortly thereafter.
Both grew up knowing their birth mothers and their families. One grew up knowing his birth father and his birth father’s mother.
One of my sons occasionally spends a week with his birth mother.
We made the right decision raising them like this.
For those of you who know who the rapper EMINEM is, he has a 19 y/o daughter who has told the press she is angry at him for not telling her that she was adopted.
This Gal has also recently declared herself as “Non-Binary”.
So there!
You sound like a really sleazy person. I am glad I will never have the misfortune of making your acquaintance.
Yes, it’s real sleazy to expect loyalty to the parents who raised you.
Next, I’ll do something horrible and expect married people to be faithful and peoples’ word to be their bond.
Nothing but brood parasites. Cowbirds. Cuckoos.
Go! Raise my spawn! I’ll be back for them later, sucker!
Thanks for all the hard work and sacrifice of raising my kid, fool!
Thank you for sharing this story for the people that have very little insight into this world.
What a creepy, hate-filled weirdo you are.
Does your parole officer know you’re on the Interwebs again?
Human Beans are complex, even on the psychological side.
One “solution” is not optimal for all.
Seems like a nice story.
