Imagine being adopted and deciding to search for your birth parents.

You order a DNA test kit from 23andMe.

It sits on your desk for two months.

Every day, you stare at the box and wonder: What will it mean if I send this in?

One afternoon, you finally do. And everything changes.

What felt like a long shot, suddenly turns into a reunion with your birth father, and an entire extended family you never knew.

And if that’s not unbelievable enough, while meeting your father for the very first time, he helps you find your birth mother.

A lifetime of wondering who they were, answered in less than a week.

This is a story about courage, connection, and the ties that shape who we are.
