38 YEARS AND A PANDEMIC LATER | ADOPTION REUNION

#adoptionstory #longlostfamily #adoptionreunion

My dad was adopted as a baby. After ordering a dna kit from Ancestry.com he threw it in a closet and didn’t open it for over a year. Once a friend encouraged him to pull it out the journey began. Results were finally in and we thought we would find his biological family in no time. A few relatives piped up in the results but no one was willing to speak with him. After one disappointment and another, dad didn’t log back into the site for nearly 6 months.

Finally, he logged back on and there was a new person showing up. It happened to be a second cousin. He only lived an hour and a half away from us. Dad was able to meet his first biological family member. Dad decided to post a picture of the two of them (my dad a black man, and his cousin, a Caucasian man) together on a Facebook page call The DNA Detectives. Several “search angels” requested to help my dad after nearly 7,000 people liked the picture.

One lady in particular stood out to my father. In only 24 hours she was able to put information together from the Ancestry results and she had found his mom! He’d waited 38 years for this moment and could not believe it was here. This video shows our reunion with my biological grandmother (we call her meemee) and I met an uncle, step-grandfather and my two amazing cousins.

If you are considering giving someone up for adoption, have been adopted, or are searching for long lost family members, I hope this story encourages you.
