Another great event for people who've experienced DNA surprises @dnasurprises severancemag.com/retreat-provid…
Warning: a DNA test can open Pandora's box with a DNA surprise. medium.com/dnasurprises/w… #NPE #adoption #donorconceived #genealogy #DNAtesting @dnasurprises
Join Alexis Hourselt - @dnasurprises, Lily Wood - NPE Stories, Louise McLoughlin - @YouLookLikeMe_, & Damon Davis - @WAIReally with moderator @evesturges from Everything's Relative for a fabulous panel discussion. Tickets: UntanglingOurRoots.org.
In this week’s episode, Guy joins me for a delightful conversation about his NPE discovery. He shares why he feels vindicated and relieved to learn that he is an NPE and how he’s tackling his case like a detective. #npe #dnasurprise podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dna…
RTK is on a BONUS episode of @dnasurprises! We talk with Alexis about @RootsSummit2023 & our work with people impacted by an MPE: NPE, DCP, and adoptee communities. We've fielded hundreds of requests for help finding genetic parents or a therapist, or to be paired with a mentor.
DNA Surprises is featured in this article from @boredpanda! boredpanda.com/dna-test-uncov…
Loved working on the story and hope it shares a new perspective with all of you!

Thanks @SInow for writing about these NPEs #Genealogy #familysecret. We ARE in every field, every family. @DNAngels4 @dnasurprises @BCMEthics @AmyDMarcus @dccouncilusa @dc_alliance_ca @Severancemag @righttoknowus @evesturges @EveAndrewsWiley @genx_npe si.com/wrestling/2022…
Have you ever wondered about the first NPEs who found out through commercial DNA tests? In this week’s episode, Annie shares how she began her journey a decade ago. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dna… #npe #dnasurprises #familysecrets #ancestrydna #23andme #righttoknow #npeawareness

Today is #npeawareness day. I wrote an article for Medium about my own NPE story. medium.com/@dnasurprises/…
NPEs, DCPs, and adoptees aren’t the only people who experience DNA Surprises. Dori shared her surprise at being contacted by a sibling she never knew existed. She also shares her experience as the child of a gay mom. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dna… #npe #dnasurprise #familysecrets
Do you dissociate while shopping for Father’s Day cards or have you never experienced a DNA surprise? #FathersDay #npe #dnasurprise #familysecrets
Some DNA surprise stories are harder to unravel than others. Linda shares how she identified her bio father despite dna challenges such as endogamy, (marrying only within the limits of a local community, clan, or tribe). Listen:podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dna… #npe #ancestrydna #23andme
When Mark received a call from who he believed was a new-found half-sibling, he wasn't surprised. Little did he know that this revelation would lead him to his own NPE journey. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dna… #npe #mpe #dnasurprise #familysecrets #ancestrydna #23andme
Just posted a photo instagram.com/p/CeghqorL2_c/…
The most brilliant con the adoption and fertility industries ever pulled was convincing the public that we have to explain to you why we deserve to know our identities, rather than you having to explain to us why we can’t have them.
If my mother used a donor and didn't tell my father, people would be outraged. But my parents used a donor and didn't tell me, so instead people tell me to be grateful. #donorconceived

Important toic to cover, but: It’s not “How do we protect anonymity in the age of DNA tests?” it’s “How do we outlaw anonymity in order to protect donor conceived people?” It’s time to finally prioritize donor conceived people.
🧬 Meet Anna. She found her biological father - a sperm donor - along with 40 half-siblings after taking a DNA test. 👁 Her story raises the question: how do you protect someone’s anonymity in the age of affordable and easy online DNA tests? @FintanMcDonnell reports.
🙋🏽♀️ Yes and sadly my bio family had no clue and spent years looking for me under my birth name…under a semi open adoption 🙄 semi my arse
How many of y’all had your name changed? 🙋🏾♀️
I can not express my admiration for organizations such as Donor Conceived Counsel, Donor Conceived Support & Donor Conceived Australia who educate & speak up about the thoughts, feelings & experiences of the community with the goal of moving forward. Lori xo #donorconceived
Every day that passes is another day I've lost with my siblings #donorconceived
A DNA surprise means grief for lost identity, family connections, history, and culture. Society doesn't recognize this loss. People don't understand this loss. Many are asked to keep this loss a secret. Our grief must be recognized and acknowledged. #NPE #adoptee #donorconceived
