"A while back, we rounded up a bunch of horror stories from people's experiences with DNA tests like 23andMe. And, it turns out, a lot of people wanted to share their similarly shocking stories. So, we want to know, do you have a wild or shocking story about taking a DNA test? For example, maybe you found out your grandfather, who you thought died when you were just a baby, was actually alive and well and living in another state with an entirely different family?"
"Or, perhaps, after innocently taking a DNA test for fun, you discovered your dad was not actually your biological father? Maybe you actually found out that you have over a dozen half-siblings because your dad turned out to be a sperm donor (something he NEVER told anyone about!)? So, tell us, do you have a DNA or 23andMe "horror story" you want to share?"
Consumer DNA tests can produce shocking, life-altering discoveries about family relationships. Examples include learning that a presumed-deceased grandparent is actually alive and living with another family, finding out that an assumed father is not the biological parent, and uncovering more than a dozen half-siblings due to undisclosed sperm donation. The call invites people who experienced startling DNA-test outcomes to share their stories. Submissions can be made in the comments or via an anonymous form for possible inclusion in a future BuzzFeed Community post or video.
