I found out within the last few months at the age of 23 that my dad isn’t my biological father. AMA.

So I’m 23 and found out recently that the man who raised me isn’t really my biological dad and that I’m a product of my mom and another man’s adultery. I only found out because I took an ancestry DNA test and she had no choice, but to come clean. AMA.

    Did you worry about any of that before taking the test? Like family secrets etc?

    Paternity tests should be required by law for every new birth.

    There’s a lot of women out there with some dirty secrets, and men supporting some other man’s kid.

    Did your bio donor and your dad know each other in years past? Man, this is one of the dangers of these ancestry/dna kits lol. So many secrets exposed! My husband has been on me for years to do one, but I don’t want to. I mean I have no reason to suspect that my dad isn’t my dad, but he’s dead so if that were the case I would not want to know! Do you have any interest in knowing your biological donor?

    Hello my friend, where do you take this with your parents? Will there be a long painful discussion to address the elephant in the room or can you ignore it for their benefit to maintain the status quo?

    Do you think your parents might divorce over this? Do you have feelings of resentment towards your mom?
