Woman Meets Biological Father She Didn't Know About Through DNA Test

When Kristie's daughters Taylor and Maddie gave their mother a DNA kit as a gift, she had no idea she would end up finding out she had a different biological father. Kristie tells Kelly Clarkson she always knew there was something different about her growing up, but she didn’t know that someone else was her biological father. Kristie gets the surprise of a lifetime when Kelly brings out her biological dad to meet her for the first time in person.

Some of ya'll are being silly. Lets use some logic here. Not everyone looks like their parents. Some people are spitting images, some are a blend, n others look like other people in their family tree. N omg some people just look like themselves. It's the beauty of DNA. We don't know what her mom looks like or their heritage. If you look closely, you can see the similarities. Shape of their eyes and curve of the nose. Even a bit of the cheekbones. Her features are of course very feminine. Father has a unique look about him. But men like him create gorgeous people all the time.

[@pamelasue8396]

@@hightopv1352 I have a guy friend who looks like the guy from mad magazine (red hair/freckles) and his parents and brothers and sisters all have dark hair and dark skin with no freckles. He always gets comments about belonging to the milkman until he pulls out a pic of his great uncle when he was young- he looked the exact same- red hair/freckles.

Heavylevy578 hey I’m not 100% sure, but I believe it’s most likely the 23&me kits, they have an option for you to see you biological relatives that you match dna with who have also taken the test. So I see a couple of my cousins and my relatives on there as high dna matches. And if I happen to have a half brother or sister that matched who took it, they’d show up as well.

So does she disregard the dad that raised her? it must be heartbreaking for a father (and rest of the family) to find out the daughter you had no doubt was yours, suddenly be someone else's daughter. But when she said she didn't share anything with the family that raised her, makes it seem like she was already outcasted by them. Regardless, it's a true blessing she found her real daddy who is able to truly love her. It's almost like she became a child for a moment and all the times she was sad, alone and off in the past was cured. Like the love was able to reach back through time and fill in the voids. beautiful. So happy she found her real daddy.

As someone adopted, my parents told me my brother and I could search for our biological parents if we had questions and they would support us. We chose to not. Our parents are who raised us. Not all adopted kids want to be found. Trust me. The ones that do just happen to make the news or tv.

[@sherrytolbird7983]

Not everyone goes to the news or media I have contacted biological parents just for health information for adoptees and they are not going to connect. It’s definitely a very personal choice. There were eras where women were forced to give up their children some as resent as the 1980s. Most adoption papers are false too when it comes to biological parents. I just did a search where the mother never told the father and said they had 12 kids and couldn’t afford the child. She had two and was in the process of a divorce. He contacted the 1/2 brother who was so young he never knew his mother had a baby but on her death bed she mentioned him. There’s no disruption or meeting but he got the health information and still a dead end with the father

[@fostecc]

I had a friend who felt the same way. My ex-husband now and I adopted a newborn girl 47 yrs ago who I love with all my heart. We told her at an age when she was able to understand that she was adopted. In fact there's a book a psychologist told me about, bedtime story about adoption with her name in it. We gave her all the information we had, but she wasn't interested in contacting her biological mother. The woman had a son that's a year older than my daughter who she also gave up for adoption. I don't know if she ever found/contacted her biological mother since she became angry about something I did that had nothing to do with her and we haven't spoken in years.

[@fostecc]

We offered our adopted daughter the same assistance if she was interested. My biological father contacted me when I was in college and wanted to meet. I have unpleasant memories of him and wasn't interested especially since my I thought it was disrespectful to my dad (stepdad) who adopted us after he and Mom married since he was always there for us.

[@elliottnassif6669]

I think our society does view adoptees as a monolith, but the truth is we all have our own unique experiences and perspectives. Personally, I’ve been in reunion with my birth family for 7 years. It’s one of the toughest but most fulfilling things I’ve ever done. If you do ever decide to search, I wish you the very best.

[@robertlunderwood]

It's borderline criminal. If a woman doesn't want a child, she can abort, adopt out, or drop off a child and take off without the father's knowledge or consent. But if a man doesn't want a child, he has to pay child support for 18 years or go to jail.

Ugh this is just beautiful. I’m bursting in tears. God is just amazing and his ways of reuniting this beautiful family (daughter and father).

[@antonduquaine6127]

Its crazy...my wife just found out same thing. She thought it would be fun to do the ancestry DNA thing. When she did it n it came back she found out she wasnt part japanese who her dad is. Found out shes all European n found out who her real dad was cause apparently he had done test in past n so he showed up in profile as relative

This mother and daughters are drop dead gorgeous. U thought they were celebrities

This is so amazing and yet bittersweet at the same time!

This story is similar to mine. When I was 29 I took a test through 23andMe. I wanted to find traits that my father and I shared since he already took the test a few years ago. When I got the email my results were in I fell to the floor. I looked and did not see my father. I immediately thought the test was wrong. I then immediately sent my dna into AncestryDNA. Hoping it would prove my first results were wrong. However it did the opposite. I also have always felt that disconnect with my father like Something was off. I just thought it was because he was never around and treated me like I wasn’t his. He treated his second wife’s son better than me. I have been searching for my father for almost a year. I believe I have narrowed in on a suspect who knew my mother at the time.

This happened in my family as well. An older sister, that we never knew existed, found us thru a prominent site. Almost 3 years ago now. I grew up an only child and to have an older sister has been the best gift ever! I know exactly how these ppl feel.

I was born when I was 12 years old when I found out I was adopted at birth. I became a very angry person. but finally met my 9 half brothers and sisters when I was 61 years old.. My biological Mom and Dad were 15 when I was born in 1948. I got to meet my Father before he passed.

[@whitneyclarke3661]

That reunion brought tears to my eyes and I'm a seventy year old .I am so happy that they were able to connect with each other.

[@tammydavis473]

The similarities of the 4 of them is amazing

[@lynettehazzard2682]

I have a half brother out here somewhere and I’m praying when I do this ancestral dna test, we will somehow be linked. My dad told me the story about how he came to be years ago not long before he died and I did find the mother using Facebook, but after she read my private message, she never responded and now I can’t locate her anymore. I told her who I was and that I was hoping she would pass my information along to my brother so that we could meet. 😔 She never responded and I really didn’t know what else to do… Now that all these people are finding their loved ones through using these tests, I have hope I’ll find him! My dad was never given the option to know or meet his son and for that, my heart aches.

[@suefraser150]

This made me cry. I too was adopted as a baby. Never have looked for my biological parents. I have two wounderful parents. My mom passed away in 2010 and my dad is 96 and still with us. Now that I'm older I kind of what to find out my back ground but don't know how to go about without hurting my dad. Thank you Kelly for doing this story!!!!!!
