"I found a half-sister that none of my siblings or mother knew about. My dad had an affair 50 years ago (he’s dead now). For us it wasn’t really a surprise, we already have a half-sister from another affair but for the newly discovered one, it answered a lot of questions and gave her some needed closure. We all met a few times, it was pleasant."

Father had a hook up in college, the young lady being at a Catholic college, dropped out to bring the baby to term, which was given up for adoption (the 60's). My (half) nephew reached out to us to try to talk about his mother (my half-sister) that had suicided from a rough life in the foster system and then drugs.... The tests are not ruining lives, sh#tty people are ruining lives (father included (wear a raincoat for f@#ks sake)).
