This is a response to a comment regarding me mentioning being "Puerto Rican". I felt that with all of the comments being made about it, my thoughts on it should be pinned. Thank you all again for all of your kind words. " icilmaa yes actually I do. But tell that to John and Sally when they ask what I'm mixed with. People don't want to know my genetic make-up down to specifics. They really just want an answer so they can go on about their day. And guess what - I'm quite positive they will accept it I realize that PuertoRican is not a race/ ethnicity. To me it's a culture and a nationality - one I don't identify with. So, I don't feel comfortable mentioning "Puerto Rican" at all and I don't. "

Puerto rican is an ethnicity. The average Puerto rican is a mixture, in varying degrees, European, black, native, and sometimes jewish. You don't look " black " in the african American sense. You look arab or afro Arab. Be proud to be mixed race and dont follow the racist one drop rule that basically teaches black blood is a tain%t and inferio@r. Hence 1 drop taints the blood and the child assumes the inferio%r parents stock. Its so racist and i cant believe black Americans and many Americans in general follow this evil racial law from jim crow.

I've watched a number of these DNA videos. Your's was the most moving. Thank you for sharing something so personal. Truth be told there are many of us who have "uncertain paternity" events in our bloodlines. Yours is more recent. I'm sorry the sister that you reached out to did not deal with you more forthrightly. She has probably developed mechanisms to deal with the shame associated with her brothers actions. I'd be willing to bet that their are others in that side of your family origins that would be more compassionate. You are a beautiful person inside and out, and an example of mercy and maturity. Just to be able to deal with this whole issue in such a balanced way is really great. I am glad you got some peace in the knowledge of what really has happened. You should consider finding an avenue to share with others that have a similar history, you could be a real encouragement to them, and it would bring further healing to you as well.

So, sad that his family couldn't accept you, as you are, their loss. I'm glad you found him, now you can put that part of your history to rest, and even though his family wasn't ready to accept you, at least you know where they are, and who they are for your children's sake. Thank you for being brave enough to share your story with us perfect strangers. I will definitely keep you and your Mom in my prayers, and I have to pray, for the people who left a thumbs down, because something is really wrong with them.

Just to allay your feelings about inheriting his tendencies... predation is learned not inherited. He grew up in an environment that probably sexualized him at an early age. As an example - one of Canada's worst sex offenders was molested by an uncle. It probably a good thing that your children will not meet up with that side of the family.

Life & Crew You deserve to know the truth. It's your absolute right to know your ethnicity, own it. They have to live with themselves defending his behavior, you are a strong beautiful woman regardless, in spite of him. Your mom gave you everything you have; tendencies like his are learned, not inherited. They don't deserve a relationship with you if you're not offering it but especially if they refuse to acknowledge how you came to be related to them. Ugh. Denial is such an ugly thing. Your mom is a strong lady, as a mom myself I admire her strength so very much. And yours too, she taught you well.

Although you don't want to have a relationship with that side of your family, it would be good to at least get as much ancestry info from them that you can so you can make your own family tree and pass that down to your children. This is the kind of info that gets lost and stumps people generations later who want to uncover the truth. GOD bless!

Your mum's love has made you who you are today. She is a very courageous woman. You can rightfully claim and explore the cultural heritage from his side of your tree without identifying with him or his immediate family. He has brought shame to his ancestors but you and your children will only bring pride. You have given your mum justice by uncovering the identity of her perpetrator. I honour you for that.

She has had to deal with a terrible experience/memory and I am sure still does. She could have aborted you and tried to forget and go on with her life, but she didn't. She did the noble thing, the heroic thing, the Godly thing - in loving you and rearing you to be a good person. She took a toxic destructive blow and turned it into such a beautiful jewel, a treasure. I am glad you can see where your features come from - and have validation there. A sperm is NOT a father.

Btw Puerto Rican isn't a race, you can be fully black and still be 100% Puerto Rican because it's a nationality and slaves were sent to the island just like they were sent to the US.

If you tested your mom you could really identify which parent you inherited everything from.

Wow. What did your mom say when you find the guy? Your story actually touched me. I know it wasn't easy , but thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry that happened to your mom and that it is a part of your life. I'm only looking at this from the outside so I don't personally know your story, but I hope you and your mom both have good lives and are at better places. Sending peace to you and your family.

You look East African, I'm sure you have that Ancestry if you perhaps did GEDmatch for more details

I highly doubt that. East Africans, or people from the horn of africa(Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia), are very homogenous people. If anyone is partially East(horn) African its most probably a recent mixture, as they generally tend to intermarry amongst themselves, and have only recent moved to other countries other than their own. They have their own Ethio-somal DNA that Ancestry DNA doesn't show (but other companies like 23andme do), with varying middle eastern and north african dna. Slave trade in the east generally took place in the Arab slave trade, many people being taken from south-western Ethiopia, South Sudan and neighbouring regions then sold as slaves in Arabia. As you most probably know, the Arab slave trade started way before and lasted much longer than western slavery, and those people sold as slaves in the middle east probably had high South-Eastern Bantu dna, as opposed to the more common West African dna African Americans generally tend to have. If you're interested, you should look into it more, it's quite complicated and not as simple as other genetics, as there are a lot more theories as to who's who and where'd they come from, and a lot less information out there and studies done. :)

Sunny A Definitely It all can be debated. But i think their dna is most common in that region of africa. I got some small percent from the Horn of Africa. Mainly because intermixture from middle east and north africa. But some east african also get middle eastern

Cool, did which company did you use? I think Ancestry isn't very reliable when it comes to pinpointing the differences with many different ethnicities besides european and west african ancestry. Its all very vague. People from the horn tend to have some north african dna, (assuming you're north african) I'm not surprised you've got a little horn/east/whatever you'd like to call it dna in you :)

East Africans are not homogenous. They are some of the most thoroughly mixed people on earth.

Thank you for sharing your story. My daughter is searching for her birth father and I would like to help her. It sounds like Ancestry DNA would be a good place to start. We know where most of my ancestors come from but we don't know any of his. He even gave me a different name so when my daughter had him checked out by a private detective there was no such person. Again, thanks for sharing your story.

Delores Russell I'm in a similar situation. I'm not sure if I'm the biological father of a little girl. Her mother never told me until 5 months after she was born and had given her up for adoption. I met her through pof and it was A fwb kind of thing. I knew her from years prior. She told me she was pregnant after 4 months and said she was a surrogate mother for a friend when she text me and asked to be picked up from the air port. Later, I find out she had a bf and ran he ran out on her when he found out she was pregnant. I'll be honest, told her I never wanted kids and she stated she was on birth control(I'm at fault for not using protection myself) later to find out that her prescription ran out and she never went to the Dr for another script. I found out she gave the kid up for adoption on fb from someone's page that she got in an argument with. When I asked her about it and her being a surrogate mother, story never matched up. She told me she didn't know if she was mines or her ex. Now the girl is 2 years old. I didn't even think she was mine because the girl looks pretty white. She has red hair and blue eyes and I'm a black guy. Her mom is Puerto rican and Irish. I figured if I had a kid with her, they would look more biracial. I took the ancestry test so if there is a remote chance she is mine, she'd find me. When I took the test, I was surprised at my findings myself. Turns out I'm only 55% african, 37% european and 8% native american. I figured if she were mine, she'd only be around 25 to 30% black. Now I wondered if she really is mine. Hopefully, she takes an ancestry test.
