Dan and Melissa’s DNA Surprise

from DNA Surprises · host Alexis Hourselt

"It’s a scam!" That’s what some family members say after a DNA surprise is uncovered. "Those tests aren’t accurate." Or, if a long-lost relative reaches out, they’re surely after money. If you’ve listened to this podcast for any length of time, you know that’s not true, but it’s a common  response. In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Melissa and Dan, who were both advised to be wary of each other after they connected. Dan was adopted as an infant, and after taking a test to find his biological parents, he found his sister, Melissa. They share what those first conversations were like and how they’ve forged a special bond in the short time they’ve known each other. Thank you for sharing your story, Dan and Melissa.Support the show
