I will add my thoughts also, I am a adoptee and things were not the best and I always had a hole in my life about my heritage. Finally in 2011 I started testing and so far by using my original birth certificate, ancestry and Family tree I have found and proven my family on both mother and father using DNA.
Some folks might be shocked at the results but so far everyone has taken them in stride. My mother family never knew she had any children but so far there are four of us. I have even found a granddaughter I never knew about.
I am currently the Clans DNA Project admin and the one thing I tell all folks about taking DNA testing is that thing may not be what you think they are and if that bothers you don’t do it. I tell them about my family, and my wife’s family where she is only ˝ sibling to 3 sisters and a brother.
A use with caution label would be a good thing on all orders for DNA testing.
