Josh's DNA Surprise

Josh's DNA Surprise

A common theme in the DNA surprise community is coming to terms with the fact that we’ll never get answers to the many questions we carry after uncovering in the truth. In some cases, people even grow up with questions without ever expecting to get the answers.

Josh was raised by his grandparents and grew up believing a man named Donald was his biological father. But as he got older, he began to question whether the story he'd been told was true.

Those questions stayed with him for nearly 30 years before he finally decided to take an AncestryDNA test.

In this week's episode, Josh shares his search for his biological father, the many surprising connections he’s made along the way, and what it’s been like to learn both the difficult and beautiful parts of his father’s story. Most of all, he shares the sense of closure he feels now that he finally knows the truth.

Thank you for sharing your story, Josh.
