I dont think she was adoptive. She was left by her mother with her "father" who raised her and he thought he was her father and her 6 other siblings.It seems like maybe they aren't on the best terms as the daughters said their mom had no role models.

He told her he regretted doing it (wife had died of cancer) because his older kids mourned her being gone.

My girlfriend got pregnant before I went into the army and we were just so young and not ready for that level of responsibility and we didn't believe in abortion so I walked into the JAG office in boot camp and signed my rights away as a father. I got a text thru Facebook from her 2 years ago saying "uh I think I may be your daughter" and asked if I could confirm and I said "of course I can, I've loved you everyday for 23 years even though we haven't been together". But we met face to face not long after and she's just take your breath away beautiful and funny and I'm so blessed to have been able to re-connect with her so I know exactly how this guy feels.

This happened to my husbands family. Just last year my husband’s half brother (who he didn’t know existed) called up his father. He had found his biological mother through a dna kit, and his mother told him who his father was. Not only did he find both biological parents, he also discovered that he had 10 siblings. We had a big family get together last summer.

[@Dave-be9mm]

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.

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.

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.
