I’m just fascinated by Long Lost Family.

If you’re adopted, sometimes you can get a hit for biological relatives and whoever else might pop up in the family tree.

DNA doesn’t lie.

Yes. In spite of my reservations about the privacy of it all, I’m going to do the DNA thing. My Grandfather was adopted when he was a boy, and we don’t even know his birth name (though we do know he was Swedish). If DNA matches can help us overcome the lack of written records, it seems that might be the best (and maybe only) way to trace our lineage.

Just wait until your insurance company decides to pay for your DNA and kick you off because those with certain markers are prone to xyz disease.

The DNA testing to find relatives recently exposed a doctor in Idaho Falls. He was hired to assist an artificial insemination. When one of the offspring of the procedure sent in DNA for analysis...voila! The doctor is "dad". There are lots of siblings too. The doctor provided "seed" for a lot of "clients". There is absolutely fallout.
