This is why adoption is stupid! you parents raised you and spent money on you then when you grow up you go look for someone who never cared about you just because of DNA

[@marklane7695]

Hi Tyler,I also found my father through a DNA test,wasn't really looking for him,I was brought up in an orphanage in england, my dad turned put to be american from new mexico.unfortunately he had passed away but I'm in contact with a brother and sister who have been fantastic, god bless america.I'm thrilled to finally know who I am , I will be visiting my brother this Thanksgiving, I've never been out of england so its a big adventure. Well done you,well done me.regards mark.

+Mark Williams awesome and hood luck to ya man. I'm hoping to meet my brother soon as well

[@mgshelton2]

I logged into my ancestry DNA account after receiving the email my results were in . The first person on my DNA list said this is your Father. Funny thing is about 10 years I ran into to a young man at a restaurant in downtown Austin,Tx. That said I looked exactly like his Father and I kinda laughed and said well maybe we are brothers. I have never met my Father or My Mother for that matter. I know who she is but that's about it. Turned out his was my Brother and I have 2 more. From my Father's side. Unfortunately so attempts to communicate with any of them has been met with silence. UPDATE: my biological mother passed away in 1995 about a year and a half after I found her. I spoke with her several times but was unable to meet her she turned really mean just before she died and told me I wasn't her son. I finally got in touch with my Father. And he said he would like to meet.

You and your half brother look so similar. I thought it was just a younger picture of you!! Congrats on the new information!! 💚

[@timg4899]

I was put up for adoption at birth. It was a closed adoption. I Found out when I was 21 I have a full brother a year older then me. I just received my Ancestry kit. I sure hope to find out who my brother is!! Very happy for you mate!!!

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

+Tim G good luck to ya man. Do as much digging with the people you've matched and you'll find him!

[@commonman80]

DAMN MAN!!! YOU LOOK JUST LIKE YOUR BIOLOGICAL FATHER AND HALF BROTHER!!! DAMN!!! WOW!!! INCREDIBLE!!!

[@anonymoususer6683]

I don't know my father and I got my Ancestry DNA results today. I contacted two people that are my first cousins. I hope they reply back.

[@meredithnahabedian4188]

Did they????

[@SarahBevElizabeth]

They could also be half siblings I think! Let us know :)

[@Yeahyeye]

Did they reply?

[@mrtnasio1]

I found my biological parents thru AncestryDNA as well, six months ago. For anyone reading this who wants to know more about their biological origins, please don't give up hope. I'm 48 years old now and thought my past would remain a mystery forever. BUT, one day, I received a message from my Bio Dad almost two years after submitting my test and after he received the result of his test. I pray for all of you still searching and encourage you to keep digging. There are no bad answers.

[@SarahBevElizabeth]

Hare Krishna Yes, but ancestry predicts on a larger variance. My grandmother, for instance, is just labels as close relative.

[@tuesdayjanae3676]

I'm adopted, I just bought the kit and I'm so nervous when the kit actually gets here. I don't know anything about my biological family at all. Watching this made me feel excited though 😊 glad you found some of your family

[@TabbyOlson]

I don't know my birth father, I did the Ancestry DNA test and got a match for a first cousin! We connected and I'm pretty sure I found my birth father too :)

[@joshuamichaelcoachlovedr.]

[@cassandrasellersm.a.8719]

Congratulations on finding your Biological Dad! These test are the best! Money well spent! Enjoy the Journey and meeting your Family! Your Mom should also take the test....she may meet her Biological Dad and his side of his family as well! 👪

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

+Cassandra Sellers, M.A. Thanks so much. My mom wants to so it'll be fun to watch it all unfold

[@catblue6160]

Sadly im not of age to get one yet but my grandma met an American soldier in vietnam during the war and out came my dad. My dad acts like he doesn’t care but i know that he is just afraid of not being accepted. It’s kind of sad but my grandma had my uncle after my dad but we don’t know if they have the same fathers. It’s kind of difficult to deal with an identity crisis. My uncle just bought a kit. Best wishes to those who are looking for their family.

[@dizzybee4176]

Well if it makes you feel any better, I'm in the same boat. I had heard my dad and his siblings were adopted when I was younger. I asked him about it and he got really mad and told me that yes he was adopted, but he didn't care to find his biological family and not to ask about it again. Well time passed and I just put that knowledge on a shelf. I ended up getting an ancestry DNA test for Christmas and now I have DNA matches to people I know aren't in my tree. Good matches too, 1st/2nd cousins, but since my Dad wants nothing to do with it, he said so years ago, I have to figure this out without him. Best of luck to you in the future.

[@chrisgordon5719]

@@dizzybee4176 Remember, the worst thing that ever happened to family secrets in the whole wide world is DNA testing. Like a diabetic. You can lie to yourself, you can lie to your doctor, but you can't lie to your blood glucose meter. The same with DNA testing. You can lie or believe anything you want. But you can't lie to a DNA test. Regardless as to what someone or a relative says. I adopted my oldest daughter before she was a year old. She was my wife's child. That was over 55 years ago. One day, it was mentioned that she wanted to find her Bio Father for Health Reasons. I found him on the Internet in 10 minutes. She did a AncestryDNA test. It came back that "RB" is your biological father. His family lost their shit. Subsequent DNA tests show that she is related to his entire family. But they don't want to deal with it. Seems a 55+ year old secret is too much to deal with. I also have a 1/2 sister that we found each other in 1997. All the family evidence showed that her father and my father were the same. Even family lore said so. Including her late mother had told her it was so, But AncestryDNA said someone else was the father. Its really hard to fool DNA. Don't worry about it. Do it for yourself. My 1/2 sister and I are best friends. It really doesn't matter that she doesn't look like me. But we like the same things. My wife of 56 years is my best friend. My half sister is probably my second best friend. Some of my four children fit in there somewhere too.

[@0906blue]

You can buy a kit on line. They don't make you show your id

[@wannabesomethingmore]

Congratulations!!! Our daughter in law was also adopted and we paid for her DNA tests so we could help her get her lines. Her birth mother passed but we have her line built and found she is related to my husband and myself as distant cousins on her maternal lines. Her paternal line was harder to do because the Hispanic lines aren't as deep with information so we had to wait for DNA cousins to show up. It took a few years until her first Cousin, same name as my daughter in law, showed up. The cousin remembered our daughter in law who was named after said Cousin! They are in contact and the birth father is still alive.

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

+Kathy Matlock Wigley that's amazing

[@thomasthorn1011]

Keep up the good work. It took me 35+ years to find my biological father.

[@TheGorgeousGretchen]

Awesome story! When I took my DNA test I found out my legal father (that I look nothing like & that I was told was not my father at 7) is in fact my biological father. But that's not all! I was able to see that 1 of my grandpa's sisters had given up a child for adoption back in 1965 and was able to figure out which sister it was and reunite my second cousin with his long lost brothers. All in only a few days! He is so incredibly grateful and said his Christmas has been made!

[@jeffmorse645]

I took the Ancestry DNA test last winter and was surprised to see my 1st cousin (my dad's niece) had also take the test. Then there was a complete stranger who was first cousins to both of us as well. I contacted her and long story short she turned out to be the daughter of my dad's older brother and was put up for adoption as an infant. He would have been just 18 when she was conceived and had been traveling around the SW and Rocky Mountain states at the time. Probably had no idea of her existence. Unfortunately he passed away some time ago, but she was still able to connect with two younger half sisters who are thrilled to get to know her (plus lots of first cousins - my older sister and she have become really good friends in just a few months of Facebook messaging). So yeah, its hard to believe what you can find out just by taking a DNA test to find out about your ancestry. My doing so help someone find out her paternal biological family.

I took the ancestry test to find out where I was from and ending up finding out that my dad wasn’t my dad. I hope to meet up with my biological father soon.

[@mrtnasio1]

phoenixjoi Keep going. It's going to take some luck but you increase your chances by keeping your foot on the gas. Ancestry found my bio parents for me, and I'm now 48. I will keep you in my prayers. If you need any advice or more encouragement, there are a lot of us out here who have been where you are, and are willing to help you. God speed in your search. Never quit.

[@rvail136]

Your Dad is still your dad. THAT will never change. Your father is the man who provided half your DNA...my step son, is my "son" because we both claim each other. he calls me by my 1st name, but when he refers to me to his friends, he calls me "dad" because I'm the guy who taught what he needed to know to be a good man. Your Dad is the man who is the one who provides you with your "dad" role model. It's not an easy job, and is usually quite thankless...

[@Meqq159]

I'm looking for my biological Father also. I have been trying to track him down for the longest time. I was adopted and found my biological mother when I was 17. I know his name and have been asking around on Facebook with people with the same last name with people who lived in the same city but have yet to find him. I'm hoping that this will be a good tool in my search. Thank you so much for posting this on KZbin. I'm so excited!!

[@KrissiCreates]

Congratulations on finding your bioDad ! My DNA journey of finding my biological Father happened within the 3-4 days range as well. Biggest difference is that I am 60 and my Poppa is 85!!! My Poppa, step-Mom , four half sibllings and their families met back in Oct 2017. Now we are in contact several times,a week. My biological Mother was also found and had passed. I will be meeting a big "herd" (family joke ) of cousins in May. Enjoy the journey !!

My Poppa is still alive and I will be going up to spend my birthday with him , his wife and my 4 half siblings and their families !! Don't give up !!

[@deependofshallow]

I knew the man that my mother said was my biological father.. I contacted him when I was 18. I cut all contact because it was way too much to handle back then and DNA testing was $1200+ . I had my doubts and I know the man she named had his. Ive been a genealogist for 24 years and I waited and waited to do the ancestry dna test because I was afraid of the mess of anything that was revealed. I anticipated that my mother had lied and I was going to be sent on a wild goose chase trying to figure out who the man was. 3 hours after the results came to my email, I had conclusive proof that the man my mother named was infact my biological father. Ive written to his brother to say, there now is no question. I also have a half sister. Both biological parents are dead but I have a sister and I never have to wonder again who made me and there is comfort in that. I had the best father in the world who adopted me and loved me the same, if not more, than his biological child. He died when I was 14. At 18 I saw looking for my biological father as a mark of disrespect. At 43 I think that every child has the right to know who made them and there is no disrespect to anyone in knowing those answers for sure. Fantastic video

That was an amazing story, I’m a bit older then you and I found out my father, or who I believed to be my father was not my biological father after my mother had died. Unfortunately she didn’t tell me, I always had a feeling about my dad because I never felt that father/daughter connection. I just received my DNA kit today and am excited, nervous and scared at the same time. I only hope I have the luck you did with your results. I know this video was from awhile back so I do hope all has worked out for you! Thanks for the video!

[@wandamcgann7728]

I am happy for You Congrats!!

[@10luckyjess]

I have a very similar story. My mom was having an affair with a married man and started seeing the man I call dad at about the same time. The man I called dad knew about it and said no matter what he will always be my dad and my parents kept it a secret from me until I was 17. I am 30 now and still on the fence about getting a paternity test. I was thinking about maybe getting an ancestry test first to see if it might even like up with the man I call my dad. I really don't want to hurt my dad's feelings when if I tell him I want a paternity test. Also my mom know almost no information about the other guy only his first name and that he was married with 2 or 3 kids and where they worked at the time. So if I find out that the guy I call my dad is not my dad I have no clue how I would find my dad.

[@allywolf9182]

Jessica Hardin do the DNA test. You don't have to tell anyone about your results, but you might get your answer.

[@SarahBevElizabeth]

No, her mother was young. Back in the 50’s people would date tons of people and then date/go steady with the one they liked best. At least according to my gma. And you’re crazy if you think none of them had sex or at least fooled around.

I know your comment is old but i was wondering how you felt about your mom & the dad that raised u not telling u until u was 17? I have a 4yr old grandson that my son & i have loved & been taking care of all of his life but there is a good chance hes not my sons...my son wants to do a dna..not bcuz he doesn't love him but because hes been getting msgs from random text apps of someone saying hes not his dad & that his ex (childs mom) told him the baby was his bcuz she knew my son worked & was a good man & would love & provide for him.. & im just gonna be completely honest & say although i understand my sons side of it..i am scared to death of losing my grandson once we find out the truth...to say im attached to him would be an understatement...Ive experienced some tragic losses n my life & when he came along its like i had purpose & joy again...he healed me n ways i didnt know i needed...plus the guy that is said to be the real dad is not someone who wants to be a father & i found out that when it was suggested that he may be the dad 4+yrs ago he said "hell no, idc it aint mine & i dont want nothin to do with u or it"... So the whole thing just has my heart breaking...& i know its completely selfish for me to not care about the dna bcuz of my love & attachment to him...but im so afraid of losing this child i dk what to do...This all just came up this past weekend so i havnt been able to sleep...just been cryin my eyes out for days. I guess my question to u is , as someone who has expierienced it first hand , what would u think was the right thing to do in my situation? I wanna do whats best & im afraid theres just no easy way. Any advice would be appreciated...Thanks & God Bless

I found my bio-father (deceased) and seven siblings that I never knew about until 18 months ago thru Ancestry.com. It was a shock to the 64 year old bones, let me say. They have been most kind and loving, and have accepted me into the family as one of their own. I know not everyone's story turns out as well. Take the test if you want, but be prepared to live with the consequences.

Found him, talked to him, he doesn't want to go any further. That's fine but what would you do about the 3 half siblings? Bio dad doesn't want me to contact them either.

Hi I’m so very happy for you! I’m 55 yrs old and have been searching for 10 yrs. I did a dna and I was wondering if your friend that helped you would be willing to help others?

The person that helped was a second cousin and only was help for the crazy fact that he said I looked like a family member he didn’t know which ended up being my dad. I’d be more than willing to help though. Biggest thing I can say is message all your close connections on there with all the info you have.. let me know what else you would need help with, I’d be happy to help

Three years ago I donated my dna to 23 and me to figure out why I was so sick with a autoimmune disease. This past February I was contracted by my first cousins son who I did not know because I grew up all my life thinking my father was one man and he was not. My mom had a affair in between my older sister and my brother and never told me. She was dying of Pancreatic cancer at the time but I had to find out the truth. I am someone else's child. I have 4 other sibling who have no idea I exist 3 in my hometown where my mom and dad moved me away from when I was very young and 1 who lives on the other side of the country. Yes I have found them all. My biological father has been gone since 2009 and my mom died 10 weeks ago. I don't know what to do. Heart Broken

Just stay strong. I've lived my whole life in a lie as well but I love the non biological family so much. DNA means nothing when it comes to family. Sorry for your mom and stay strong. Life always gets better at some point

[@gannicusfinch7068]

Same here. I found at age 33, quite by accident, that my father wasn't my biological father . . . and the man who my mother SAYS was had been dead for some time. Around that time, I just so happened to be teaching American Literature, and a throwaway line from the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass has stuck with me: "(my origin) is but little consequence to my purpose."

Hi I just came up on your video, I did the DNA test myself trying to find my biological father but i have no idea where to start. My mother is not very helpful. She was a young girl being dumb and wild and said she cannot remember his name. Me being a women do not carry the Y-chromosome. I am lost. I show second cousins but i am sure they are my mother's side because they have same last names. Can you explain to me how you figured out your mother's and side and separated it? It would be helpful. Thank you

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

So I found people that I knew were directly related to my mom just by their names. Ancesty also lets you compare matches to see how u are related to that person. I would message everyone that u know isnt related to your mom and just ask question. I felt crazy hitting up people i matched with but not in the end. The worst that will happen is they dont respond or they are no help. Just give them the best time frame and setting for when the magic would have happened. Your story is just like mine. I'm sure you will find him just dig hard at it and keep checking back in on ur matches. Good luck and keep me posted

[@pinds83]

I've never met my father. I have no idea if he even knows about me. The only things I have found out about him are his first and last name (which is a fairly common name) and that he was from western Iowa. (My mom was there for a conference when she got pregnant with me.) I moved to Omaha, NE a couple years ago and I can't help but wonder if my father still lives nearby. If so, he's only a 15 minute drive away. Anyway, I finally ordered an Ancestry DNA kit and I will be mailing it in the morning. I'm not sure I'll find anything out, but it would be nice if I did. Thanks for sharing your story. :) UPDATE: Got my results yesterday. My bio father actually took the test as well. I knew there was a possibility of that, but I honestly just thought I'd find some aunts/uncles/cousins and not actually him. Again, I don't know if he knows about me, so I'm not really sure how to proceed at this time. 😧

Still looking for mine, haven't done Ancestry.com but have postings on 23andme and myheritage and Gedmatch...so far the closest i have is first cousin once removed but no joy with narrowing down even the specific branch of the family that I came from

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

Give ancestry a shot and keep on looking. It took me 10 years of off and on work

[@WhosVasp]

Great story, I just found both sides of my family unfortunately both of my parents are passed and I’m an only child from both of them they separated after I was born /: I have a bunch of cousins and my aunt so it was a great experience.

[@lauraborgmann8285]

Ok I have ancestry and just did a23 and me and wow that was a great also

[@dustinhergert9499]

I started this to find my father. I really think this will led me to him.

[@dustinhergert9499]

Carly Fournier , same exact story for me now.

[@raiderfandew]

I have been searching for my birth father for over 50 years. Last Tuesday, my search came to an end. I found my father. He passed in 1996, but I have two half siblings. I contacted them. Even with a 28% DNA match, with 1984 cM match, I'm still being ignored. I'm 77 years old, and I don't have much longer on this earth. What more must I do? How long must I wait?

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

How are you trying to contact them? Messaging through ancestry can be tricky. Some people are just different and may not be willing to accept the change. You got your answers and at least you know now. I don't have a relationship with the father I found but at least I've been able to lay eyes on him and thats all I ever really wanted, just the answer. Hang in there and know it has nothing to do with you and your doing nothing wrong by trying to connect with them, people are just different.

[@simonmc78]

still waiting to find my biological father. all my close cousins who match with me are all from my biological mothers side. keeping the fingers crossed.

[@TheSonyavasile]

Still waiting on my results. I just got an email about a week ago saying that they are processing it and that it is taking longer because of the holiday. Hopefully get it in a few days. I am so excited to see the results and talk to family I have never met.

[@TheSonyavasile]

I doubt that there will be any Amish on that site but one of my ancestors might have been Amish. He was from Germany and traveled to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1740. Even one of the family trees from a person I never met that is related to him and possibly related to me because of my ancestor said that he might be Pennsylvania Dutch and they call the Amish that. At least the Amish that live in Pennsylvania and they are not really Dutch but German and Swiss like I have been told that I am. Going to Pennsylvania in August to talk to the Amish and see where my ancestor landed and where he lived.

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

+Sonya Vasile excited for you.. It's quite the experience

[@manbunxx1489]

update us please

[@TheSonyavasile]

I have to wait another month by what they said because I called ti see what was taking so long. I also found out through my family tree that another one of my ancestors was apparently an Amish immigrant from Germany so that would make two ancestors Amish if true.

[@kittyncocoalways1]

I look so much like my mother I can't tell who my biological father is and it doesn't help both of their families are from different countries and none of my possible siblings or even possible father's want to know the truth.

[@KentPetersonmoney]

One advantage of meeting your dad as an adult you never have to worry about getting a whipping from your dad.

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 true

[@marcomarkproductions]

all my matches were 5th-8th cousins

[@joshuamichaelcoachlovedr.]

Hey Tyler or who ever may be out there who can guide me through this process. Where do I order this dna test ?

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

There is ancestry dna which is who this is through and many others.. 23 and me would be the other big one..

I found who my half brother on fathers side using Ancestry dna and that lead me to identify of bio father. and found a half brother on mothers side.

[@rpierce7004]

And????..........did you contact him?

[@athenaenergyshine7616]

I want to find my dad but I don’t know his name or anything about him. How can I start

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

That's just where I was at before the test. Take an ancestry test and a 23 and me test and ask a lot of people questions... who knows you could even make a match with him. Good luck

[@DanielHay]

Did you get DNA match to your half-brother? Going to be able to get it from the bio-father? You need them to verify your links.

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

I know with out a doubt that they are family. A match I had on there is family with them and he is my dad

[@DanielHay]

That is wonderful. Most adoptees, or even those not adopted, don't find solutions so quickly. I spend years working genealogy and DNA. Thanks for replying.

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

Irs crazy because we had tried to find him just from info givin by my mom and her friend but just gave up... Only took the test for my genetic makeup. Thanks for watching man

[@toastopia1]

hello, i am adopted and i am waiting for my results from ansestory! i am nervous and excited at the same time, i have the story of what happened to me, but no other names or anything!

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

i am thinking about posting on utube, real time? did posting on line help u in anyway?

Not with finding anyone. Posted it for fun

[@juanitah.3049]

did it show up as close family member or half sibling?

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

No we found this out from finding my father. We didn't link on ancestry

[@manuelvalladares8088]

I don’t know my biological father. Will this DNA test show his name . He does not show on my birth certificate. It’s just has my mothers name and empty where it asks for the fathers name. I would just like to know if it’ll least show his complete name before I pay for this test. Anyone please answer

[@louisGauto]

Im hoping this will help me. I just recently found out my dad I've had for 28 years wasn't my biological father

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

+LouisGmedia family is deeper than blood. Hope you find what ur looking for

[@chloewithaK]

same here. i was 18 when i found out.

[@clawcross]

@@FatDaddyRatchetGaming no. Family is blood.

[@ryansmith642]

Trying to find my father and possibly siblings 💯I’m so eager to know...how much is it and how long does it take

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

Ancestry DNA usually is 100 but they run specials through the year. I can't speak on the the other ones but I recommend u try all the main ones one at a time to see what matches u get and then contact all of them. I got my during the holiday season and it took about 5 months but shouldn't be nearly that long if u got one now. Hope that helps

[@Hollieee88]

Yuo should buy a DNA test from ancestry (they have the largest database so best chance of finding anyone) and you can then download your DNA and upload it for free to family finder, my heritage, gedmatch and my living DNA. If you don't find any results from there then order the 23 and me DNA test.

[@TheOriginalRick]

I got my test results back in about five weeks. There was a very close relative listed that I had never heard of. I emailed her, and within a few days of communication I was assured that I had found my bio-father's family.

[@Heseesyou]

I'm going to make a video.. I'm 41 and my daughter 24 is 86% deaf and wanted to see if it ran in the family so if she has children she is prepared. So she text me and says mom" did you take an ancestry test 8 yrs ago when you tested with that guy who you thought was your dad? No " me= I used a private lab. And it came back no. I didn't believe it and I asked his daughter to take a siblings test with me. The guy said he had to keep it on the low because his wife was taking a board state test and he didn't want to disturb her. So test came back with 5 girls.. 3 his and 2 are not.. I was tripping because me and another girl looked like twins😯 so I asked her to please put my mind to rest and let's try again at another lab. Came back 0 percent match😭 I was 33.. so here we are, my daughter is getting relatives from her dad side and mine.. she says mom there is a match of a 1 cousin and he lives 3 miles from me. I connect and he was a minor but with a mom that observed his account and answered me. The mom took the test and it came back it was my daughters half aunt.. she is 5 yrs younger then me.. WITH THE SAME BIRTHDAY 🧐 4 CHILDREN LIKE ME.. AND LIVES IN THE SAME TOWN AS ME.. AND GREW UP ON THE SAME ST AS ME😯😭 So my daughter hires a genealogist. A women who is lisa shows up as a person of interest. She dug further and found a boy named Ryan connected to lisa. Its Lisa's nephew. They were trying to find through Lisa's line who matched the age of my mom . They said potential mates are usually 1-5 yrs apart. Ryan's birthday is August 10 1984 .. 10 days apart from the girl ricki who matched my daughter as half aunt.. we all live close🙃 so Ryan is contacted about the finding of his dad and uncle who are my moms age. Ryan ask his dad and he said he dated a girl named toni.. which is my moms name, but it was along time ago and everyone was Into love fest and drugs. So it could be true he said. I asked rickie and Ryan if i could pay for a high dollar test to get a accurate answer. They said yes. Last week it came back 99.992 we are all 3 half siblings that share the same father. I'm like no way.. my sister ricki 2 days later gets a test back from 23andme that she did a mth prior that said. Ryan matches as your 1 cousin and a kid named William matches as your half brother. " hold up.. my sister is freaked.. we just met the day before balloons, flowers.. tears.. it was shocking. . So she said tell Ryan to ask his dad to test. We did, he said ya.. but i have to be careful of not telling my wife yet, her mom just died and she is emotionally destrote.. ok folks I'm like here we go again, this dude is gona chicken out and swab the cats mouth. So Ryan comes and gets the test kit from me, goes back to his dads house.. gets the sample. . Takes it back to me, i send it through FedEx and now we wait. "" wait there is one more thing that happened last week after the test came back from 23andme and Ryan mentioned it to his dad. The kid William matched lisa. Lisa sent him to Ryan to talk.. Ryan pointed him to Ryan's uncle rick and said that's your dad a yr ago. So when ricki got her test back.. Ryan started spinning.. how can this be and told his dad randy his confusion. Randy says son.. I had some doubts earlier on in your younger yrs that your mom cheated with you, but I still stayed and raised you.. Ryan is like what.. so now the only other situation this could be is ... we are now taking a paternity test 3 siblings against 1 potential dad. Lord have mercy, if anyone sees and reads this.. this is not a game, this has so much hurt behind this. Growing up I was MOLESTED by my adoptive dad. I longed for my real parents to save me, at 11 met my real mom who would then drug me with meth and I would get MOLESTED. I led a very WICKED life and sex trafficking by my adoptive parents at 12 for yrs. I always wondered if I slept with my dad. It is sick it is so awful. But guess what.. I met JESUS CHRIST at 25 and he has healed me and set me FREEEEEEEE. Please REPENT and consider your soul. You dont have to be trafficking and drugged for 16 yrs like me to be just as traumatized by life and sinners. 1 sin is death. But JESUS CHRIST paid it all to buy you back and adopt you as his own. Say yes to JESUS CHRIST. I found my real father 16 yrs ago in my living room as I repented and cried out and said God I'm wrong your right. Please have mercy on me and teach me your ways😍💯🎯 I wrote this for you. . You know god is talking to you. He wants you to forgive others and YOURSELF. . And be about his business. Now I rescue girls and children from the life I used to live. Glory to the living CHRIST!

@@FatDaddyRatchetGaming I know your comment is old but i was wondering how you felt about your mom & the dad that raised u not telling u until u was 17? I have a 4yr old grandson that my son & i have loved & been taking care of all of his life but there is a good chance hes not my sons...my son wants to do a dna..not bcuz he doesn't love him but because hes been getting msgs from random text apps of someone saying hes not his dad & that his ex (childs mom) told him the baby was his bcuz she knew my son worked & was a good man & would love & provide for him.. & im just gonna be completely honest & say although i understand my sons side of it..i am scared to death of losing my grandson once we find out the truth...to say im attached to him would be an understatement...Ive experienced some tragic losses n my life & when he came along its like i had purpose & joy again...he healed me n ways i didnt know i needed...plus the guy that is said to be the real dad is not someone who wants to be a father & i found out that when it was suggested that he may be the dad 4+yrs ago he said "hell no, idc it aint mine & i dont want nothin to do with u or it"... So the whole thing just has my heart breaking...& i know its completely selfish for me to not care about the dna bcuz of my love & attachment to him...but im so afraid of losing this child i dk what to do...This all just came up this past weekend so i havnt been able to sleep...just been cryin my eyes out for days. I guess my question to u is , as someone who has expierienced it first hand , what would u think was the right thing to do in my situation? I wanna do whats best & im afraid theres just no easy way. Any advice would be appreciated...Thanks & God Bless

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

Wow this comment really hit home. So my mom was dating a totally unrelated guy when I was very young, around 1. He was just a Bf. His mom would watch me while they went and did stuff. That women, my moms temporary boyfriends mom, raised me and is one of the most important people in my life. DNA is nothing. I don’t know all the layers and know I would be devistated to find out a kid wasn’t mine but you love that baby and that’s all that matters.. play your cards right, love that baby forever regardless of the DNA. Just because he may turn out to not be your grandchild doesn’t mean you don’t have to see it anymore.

[@bluckyjones]

@@FatDaddyRatchetGaming Thank you so much for your response. & i whole heartedly agree with you...dna means nothing to me & there is no way i can ever stop loving this child & being with him every step of the way...I just hope & pray his mom allows me to still be his Mimi after she gets exposed...cuz if she takes him from me ill be completely devastated. My only fear in all of this has been what the truth is gonna do to him...& im old enough to know that the way it effects him is based upon how everyone involved responds to the results & how they decide to explain it to him. If she maintains whats best for him, then he will be fine...but if her guilt causes her to be angry then im afraid we all we suffer. What id give to make all of this just go away...cuz it truly dont matter to me either way...i cant possibly love him any more than i do right now. But i understand the truth is necessary for my son, & for my grandson. I just gotta stand in faith. I appreciate you honey! God Bless u & your fam & the lady that raised you as her own...💛

[@magnetobrown]

Dat's wassup. I hope u all can build a relationship. Good luck.

[@zajournals]

Be forewarned... you might not like the results. I did it for the health predisposition results. I hadn't considered that 40 years ago I was a frequent sperm donor throughout 6 years of college, multiple banks in multiple states. I knew I didn't want to raise children but helping others to do so felt benevolent. Back then DNA testing wasn't thought of as a future consequence. I was very pleased with the health analysis but overwhelmed to discover I have over 100 biological relatives from my sperm donations, and from just the one DNA test company. I plan to test with other companies too. Then there are those people who have never had their DNA tested. I can't imagine how many biological children I must have.

[@tresielopez9274]

Just wanted to say, how apologetics I am to hear that this Woman 100% defended her brother. It seems to me that the level of mental health runs Definitely deep with this family. Your mother is very brave and strong Beautiful lady. God knew what he was doing when he lead her too give you life. You are beautiful, and brave super intelligent woman. I understand that your mother is emotionally hurt by some strange man invading her at such a young age. And it shows how deeply it has effected you over the years. I got raped at the age of 14 also when you post this I want you to know that this story effect me as well. Darling, as both a Minister and Phycologist I want you to know that God has allowed your biological father too deal with his demons as he replay his sinful events over and over again in his self conscious mind. If both he and his sister doesn't have a soul the God we serve will Break them both continually with ill faith. There is a saying in the Latino committee that says " A man who sales his soul too the point of know return down the path too the devil's door will open his soul too hell on Earth with his victims faces in dreams always, running him down a path of darkness until he goes mad for his sins" Any family members who agrees to his sins shall share that same bad faith within their own family blood until the curse is broken. God bless you and condition too guide you and your family with the light of God in your pathway always my beautiful sister. God has blessed you so far, he has many more awesome doors to open for you. Keeping both you and your family in my postive prayers always.

@@FatDaddyRatchetGaming I'm and adoptive dad. Like Chuck, I raised my kid the best I could. I went to work every day at a job I don't particularly like to feed her, clothe her, buy her the things she needed, and wanted. I took care of her when she was sick, worried about her when she did things she shouldn't have, and loved her no matter what. I also made some mistakes along the way, like every other parent. You look like you're in your late teens or early 20's. If Chuck was a good guy until just a couple of days ago he was good for quite a few years. Maybe you should cut him some slack and not let one event you didn't like hurt the relationship. Just saying.

I want to introduce him to my beautiful wife and my 2 amazingly beautiful children of my own but I literally know nothing not even a name about my birth father and I have no idea on how to start looking.

[@FatDaddyRatchetGaming]

My mom had details that she wasn't sure about.. she isn't a very stand up person. She was right about his name (Shawn) and that he was from Nebraska. But this DNA test is what ultimately lead me to him. I had given up and accepted I'd never find him. I didn't even take this DNA test to find him, just wanted to know what I was made up of. I highly recommend doing one of these testaybe even multiple from different companies. You'll match someone that is related to your dad then all u got to do is some digging
