How did your sister’s DNA come into the system though is I guess what I’m wondering–did you suspect that you both might be related, and got tested, or was it happenstance that you submitted your DNA and she had at some earlier point in time and there was a match? Just wondering from the perspective of a character who is trying to find birth parents or siblings and having to start from scratch to find them.

It must be the texture as the background is one color. Sorry this is bothering you. Maybe zoom in, and then that will allow you to minimize the green. 😉

Oh..it’s always been the same?..I didn’t realize that…anyway the text IS difficult to see against the multi-coloured background.

Hi PL,

Our design has been the same for a while now–maybe you’re having an issue with your browser?

The DNA test isn’t a blood test. The company that led to the match asked for a saliva sample.

The DNA report included information on possible matches. The “close match” was my half-sister. I contacted her, we compared information and we connected. 🙂

Great adds! Thanks Keli! With your DNA, how did you find a relative through it–did you get a hit on a specific database? Or was the blood test just to confirm?

Talents & Skills That Will Help the Character Achieve This Goal:
Tenacity or persistence. I spent fifty years waiting to find out who my biological father was.

Possible Sacrifices or Costs Associated With This Goal: strained relationships with existing family members who might not understand your need to know or even want you to find out who your parent was.

Lol, so glad this thesaurus is helping you. 🙂
