Mike's Story | Finding Family Connections 60 Years Later

Mike Kueny was adopted in 1965 and grew up knowing he was adopted, while continuing to wonder about his biological family. Decades later, after the deaths of his adoptive parents and two of his siblings, he decided to take an DNA test. When the results arrived, everything moved quickly. Within hours, Mike had identified both his birth mother and birth father, along with half-siblings he never knew he had. Mike shares what it was like to search for biological family at 60, navigate new relationships alongside an existing family history, and experience the questions, losses, connections, and complexities that can come with adoption and reunion.
