My relative went through a lot emotionally with searching, looking for info before the DNA testing gave her info on relatives with a match. Her bio mom tried to find her first child, but ran into the situation where it would cost a lot of money to continue searching & she didn’t have it. It turns out the bio father wanted nothing to do with the baby when he found out about the pregnancy - the pregnant young woman moved back home, but the “shame” involved back then with being unmarried landed her in a home for unwed mothers. The bio dad’s family was located via DNA, too. It turns out he is deceased which, from the info available about him from relatives, might be a blessing in disguise.
As I said before, this reunion has been a happy one and has brought a lot of peace to bio mom and daughter - the holes in both of their lives are now full of many things - forgiveness, love, relief & mysteries solved. The resemblance between the two of them is striking - you’d be fairly certain they were mother/daughter just by looking at a picture.
How wonderful. My sister sent me a picture of my bio father at 14. Spitting image of my grandson. My brother is also the spitting image my son.
My husband is half Hispanic, my younger son came out with blond hair. We all scratched our heads, where in the world did that come from? My older son looked quite a bit like my husband as a baby, but as he grew older, he came to resemble me. It was the first time I saw anyone who looked like me.
