EP. 314/ Alesia Weiss. Non Paternity Event Advocate

Along with the information genetic testing can provide, it also delivers more questions and confusion. Alesia Weiss's own experience with an over-the-counter DNA kit in 2014 resulted in severe shock when she discovered that the man who’d raised her was not her genetic father. Learning the identity of her biological father took four long years of research and the news that he’d passed away years before her discovery will always be a profound source of sorrow for her. Because of this experience, Alesia has worked hard to support NPEs, the donor-conceived community, and adoptees in their fight to know their genetic history. Her service on behalf of this community includes genealogical research, education, networking and the provision of informed emotional support.1.  www.nursingfornpes.com  , or NPEN, is a website for anyone who needs assistance with deciphering their DNA , finding a therapist, looking for a mentor,  or just needing resources. 2.  www.facebook.com/groups/thisnpelife is a private FB community that is an incredible group of almost 4000 members that understand the pain personally and truly get it. 1.  www.nursingfornpes.com  or NPEN is my website for anyone who needs assistance with deciphering their DNA , finding a therapist, looking for a mentor,  or just needing resources. We also have the FB group that offers an incredibly supportive community-- 2.  www.facebook.com/groups/thisnpelife is our private FB community that is an incredible group of almost 4000 members that understand the pain personally and truly get it. 1.  www.nursingfornpes.com  or NPEN is my website for anyone who needs assistance with deciphering their DNA , finding a therapist, looking for a mentor,  or just needing resources. We also have the FB group that offers an incredibly supportive community-- 2.  www.facebook.com/groups/thisnpelife is a private FB community that is an incredible group of almost 4000 members that understand the pain personally and truly get it.
