Family DNA RESULTS and REACTIONS! | 23 And Me | Adoption

[@Cassiesibbitt]

Ari’s results will always make me sob like a baby. Her momma loves her, I love how supportive crystal and Aaron are when it comes to the kids finding their biological parents. Always warms my heart. I remember watching her results when they came out, hearing her tell her mom she’s proud of her sobriety. Mt heart. The immediate “HI MOM”! Her momma is so beautiful, just like her. ❤

[@mallorym.]

Ari telling her bio mom that shes proud of her for being sober😭💗

[@oilinmylamp]

Does Aurora understand yet that Jamie is her birth mother? I know you have been open about the whole process. One of my absolute favorite stories because of how God ordered your steps through it all and how you knew while being a surrogate. Such a beautiful story! ❤

[@Finn_River]

It is wonderful how God's love can influence us to want to help others when we can.

[@adelaidecull7482]

I think they may have mentioned it to her and some point but she was younger

[@staceykeiser3014]

Aurora does knows Jamie is her birth mom.

[@janalynnjohnson9671]

I would love to see you guys, with Tristan, start teaching each of them about their heritage. Have a special day where you learn about their customs, try their foods and maybe even the way they dress. U know crystal and Aaron both talk about how family traditions are so memorable for them. Maybe give that to your children like the Miller Fam does

[@lindadriessen9027]

@janalynnjohnson9671 If the child is into it, that would be a good idea. The Miller family does indeed always try to embrace special traditions of the heritage of the adoptees.

[@janalynnjohnson9671]

@lindadriessen9027 that's true. I think most of them though would feel special having a day all about them. Including the bio kids. One thing from being from this part of the world is that we don't really have our celebrate our culture. Been in arizona my entire life, have a lot of Norwegian, Scandinavian and Irish ancestors, but have no traditions that came over here with them. They were all lost

[@lindadriessen9027]

​​@@janalynnjohnson9671I know what you mean. My family came from a colony in Asia to Europe and we cherished our traditions and heritage, fusioning the customs of daily life as much as we could. What I appreciate with the Miller Fam, that they give ALL their children the choice. TY for sharing your experiences.

[@claremonea872]

It would be interesting for your bio kids to do the test. That way, they can see what parts of the world they are from. ❤

[@lindadriessen9027]

@@claremonea872 I think it is very important and interesting. Especially because they have so many siblings.

[@katrinalongley]

That was so sweet when Arianna said she was proud of her bio Mom. I bet that meant everything to her. ❤

[@kaylabuchanan1197]

My dad and I just did 23&me and ancestry just to see where we come from and instead found out that my dad's father is not who we thought was for 50 years! Come to find out my dad, myself, and my siblings should have a whole different name then we do now. I understand bellas hesitation because we weren't expecting the results we got at all and it does effect you, even if doesn't change the bonds you have with loved ones.

[@EdynDoesIt]

Wow! That’s well idk the words but Wow!

[@allieb8046]

This happened for us too! I took an ancestry test and my dad was a whole different person turned out I had 11 siblings I didn’t know existed. But when looking through my matches we noticed no one on my grandpas side popped up knowing they had taken the ancestry test we knew they should have matched with me. My mom then took the test and found out the man she knew as her father her entire life wasn’t her father. It was a lot for us to process.

[@Mammaj1963]

That happens to a lot of people, the skeletons come out of the closet. 23 and me can tear families apart 😢

[@lindadriessen9027]

@@kaylabuchanan1197 Thank you for sharing your perspective and experience. I think it's important to verify whether the person understands the terminology and goals of the test.

[@abbiemartinez2203]

You should get the kids with Native American tribes found out and enroll them if possible. It could help them financially, medically and a lot of other ways too! My son is only 15% but he gets free healthcare at his tribes health center. If he was 30% or more he would qualify for a yearly percap.

[@Ya_boi_jasper]

I need to get a dna test 😂 my grandma on my dads side says I’m Native American but won’t tell me from where 🙄

[@dakotahwolf]

It doesn't quite work like that when origins stem back to Mexico, which most of her kids with that link do. Even if they did connect to a tribe in the states, they would also have to have info from bios. Maybe stop suggesting things you have no real knowledge of. A DNA test is not enough to get tribal enrollment. Ridiculous 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@littlebigkicker]

Thays not how it works u have to have more than that to get health care

[@littlebigkicker]

​@dakotahwolf u have to be half or full

[@mcrchickenluvr]

@@Ya_boi_jaspershe may not know. Depending on where you live, it could be a cluster. If it’s anything like it is here in Arizona where you have nations set in the middle of other nations, it’s possible that you could have more than one nation/tribe in you. In my case I have Hopi and Navajo. The Hopi nation is right in the center of the Navajo Nation. So there’s a lot of Native Americans that have ancestral ties to more than one nation.

[@megf978]

As an adoptee who got so many answers from 23 and me, this made me cry so many happy tears. Such an overwhelming but important thing to learn about your roots when you have no idea

[@jodidrake4919]

This is such a tour of your hair over the years Crystal! Love it most this colour though!

[@naleablack232]

Ariana has me in tears, how special. Thank you for sharing and letting us being there as she talks with her bio mom. Did you ever get a hold of her grandma. I’m glad tristan is taking one because I’ve wondered what he is as well.

[@jasminegarvin1249]

Crystal and Aaron you both are FANTASTIC parents!!! You two go great lengths for these kids and it shows!! Your love for these kiddos makes them shine so Bright!! I love that the love for your adopted kiddos and the love for your bio kidos show no differently!!! I really admire your parenting, you two are hands down the most amazing parents. If nobody has told either of you today, Crystal you're a Fantastic mother and doing the most wonderful job rasing your kiddos! Aaron you're doing an AMAZING job and doing a wonderful job raising your kiddos!!! Like i previously said you both are amazing parents and it really shows!!! My husband and i watch your's and the crazy middles channel together and i must say its my favorite part of the day!!! Watching your channels has brought my husband and i a lil bit closer and it may not be something that is serious but it definitely is great to spend that 45 minutes to an hour with my husband watching your family grow each and every day!!! We love you all so very much 💝💝

[@jasminegarvin1249]

6:29 the unsureness in Ariana's voice 😥😥 breaks my heart as a mom!!! As a longtime follower i know the whole outcome from Ariana's story but that little bit of unsureness was so sad to hear ❤😢

[@ambermcdonnell2010]

My thoughts exactly i may not be a mother, but I'm an aunt, which in my eyes is the next best thing, and hearing her ask if her bio mom still loved her broke me because the answer was yes but her bio mom was sick (addiction) and couldn't take care of her.

[@css71588]

It’s always a good idea to go back and log in to there results again over time they get updated the more people do them

[@sierrawhiteside9815]

I remember when I found your channel a few years back, and I binged watched EVERY SINGLE VIDEO😂 It was so intriguing to see where all the kids are from❤. I STILL am trying to get through all of Crazy Middles, and I'm not even close to being done!

[@Mysticsoul77]

I love that you're helping the kids get their genetic information. The unknown has always been scary for me as a former foster/adopted kid. Especially as I'm getting older and don't have medical answers. I unfortunately have a lot of different medical issures. Some day I want to get a 23 and me done. Right now it isn't in our monthly budget. I hope the answers will help them someday. Definitely check in Native Tribes for information on help for the kids.

[@BP-rc8xh]

Aurora has the most precious heart. It's one thing to receive something, but she was so considerate that Evie should too. Bless her precious heart. I don't know about kids her age accepting her. She may have a slight issue with clarity but she makes up many fold and more with her sass, her spark and that pure soul that even adults lack.

[@Setty81]

I loved watching them finding out about their ancestors, I'd love to take one of these. The little surprises of finding out they came from a country they weren't aware of 😊

[@pamelacrowell2007]

A question about kiddos with Native American ancestry....are you trying to get that part of their ancestry identified and get them registered with Native American Government? This is so important to our American history.

[@lindadriessen9027]

A very good advice! Coming from a former Dutch colony, we know how important it also is for medical history.

[@dakotahwolf]

Considering those roots go back to Mexico for most, that's not really an option. Y'all seriously need to educate yourself. Just because DNA says native doesn't mean you can enroll. There's way more to it than that. It gets more complicated if it's in another country (Mexico, Canada, south america).

[@ginaricciardelli5501]

You also just can't 'register'. You need to be a decent percentage to be considered, as well as what another comment said it could be from Mexico, Canada, etc.

[@Pau1ina21]

Might be wrong but I thought if kids are Native Americans they have to be placed with Native American

[@dakotahwolf]

@@Pau1ina21 you need to learn a bit more about what it means to be Indigenous and colonialisms effects.

It was good to have a recap. I remember watching most of these but I didn't remember. It's surprising how many of them have Native American heritage. I did Ancestry but now I want to do 23and Me. I wonder if it will come out the same. Thank you for sharing Aurora's heritage. It would've been a surprise if Jaimie and Melinda didn't show up.😊

There is never no rush in doing a 23&Me test, or never have to do one at all. Family is family to those you know as family and nothing more, and as for Bella not being ready to do one is totally ok and so…understandable not that anything will change between her and her brothers but sometimes you just want to keep it as that and not know anything then what you already know. 🙌🏻❤️

[@TheDonna519]

Hi Krystal I am an adoptee from Australia and I used a Facebook search angel. They can help find birth parents without a close DNA match surely there would be similar groups in the US that could help you find any of the kids that want to find an unknown birth parent. They usually don’t charge adoptees and do amazing work. I now know of all my family on both sides and will be meeting some half siblings soon.

It's interesting seeing the difference in my boyfriend's 23andme results vs. mine. His family are all from the same South American country. He came out as a little bit of most continents (mostly Spanish/ Portuguese & Indigenous American). I came out as 99.9% European (mostly British/ Irish & German). His big surprise was about 1% Ashkenazi Jewish, which we think is actually Sephardic, and mine was about 1% Basque.

[@bojosunshine75]

I can relate Alex. I don't know but a few things about my bio dad or his family. But I always thought I was mostly German. Turns out I'm zero German. 😂😂😂

[@alexk7973]

To be fair, my own grandma, who is very German, has always lived in Germany, has traced her ancestry back to the freaking middle ages, looks exactly like her own father (just in female) took one of those tests and it said 80% British. Now for that to be true, both of her parents would have to be almost entirely British. But again, we know their ancestry down to the nth degree and they are all most definitely German … those tests compare your DNA to where that particular combination is most common, but that is just a likelihood and not a guarantee that that‘s where your DNA came from …

[@alexk7973]

A lot of people are suggesting to get the kids registered with the tribes. But you would have to establish descent from a specific tribe, so would have to know exactly who the bio parents were. Also, I think a lot of their Native ancestry isn‘t from any US tribes, but Mexican or South American tribes. That would be even more complicated to establish… and not necessarily have any of the benefits that an enrolled membership with a US tribe has.
