in my wife's case, there is no other family to speak of. Her mom gave her up at birth, she was raised by her grabdmother who's dead. Hoping she gets the answers or closure she wants.My coworker did it a few years ago and found out she didn't know her real father either. Insane family drama issued.

A good buddy at work is 62 and found out last year he had a daughter. She wanted nothing from him other than to meet him. This also came from ancestry.
Personally, i would never put my dna out there, but i get where my wife is coming from. My dad died recently and it really pushed her to try and find out
Well that is awkward!My coworker did it a few years ago and found out she didn't know her real father either. Insane family drama issued.

Honestly, I'm kind of concerned that my brother submitted his. I was a sperm donor in the early 90's for a fertility clinic. One of the girls in my EMT class asked if I was interested in doing it because they were looking for blonde hair/blue eye donors. I did it with my wife's (girlfriend at the time) approval.
My mother passed away when I was two and my father had a vasectomy. Long story about that. Anywho, I have a younger brother due to a sperm donor for my stepmom after my dad remarried. So I knew there was a need.
I think it was 50 bucks a pop 3 times a week for 3 months. It's how we paid for our wedding.
So there may be a bunch of early 30's little KVR28's out there that might have submitted to these sites and my brother could pop up as a strong familial hit.
I don't know if my wife could handle if they started trying to contact me.

Last I heard the mother won't admit anything. Just absolute denial.
She met the real father and said its undeniable, and that she looks exactly like the rest of that dudes kids.
They just made sure you get caught and convicted homey! That's how they caught the East Area Rapist.
Not saying it is, but Leo have access to their databases, to think otherwise is wrong
Like most things, it's probably great in theory. Probably great in practice 90% of the time (catching criminals, saving lives, medical advancement)
It's that corruptible 10% that fucks everything up
These companies should be paying YOU for your DNA. No telling what they are doing with it.

Same goes for anyone using biometrics with their phones (fingerprints, facial, retna ID) to unlock. I have tape on my phone's camera.
None of it is good, but go ahead and pay for have your personal DNA, family's DNA, and biometrics collected and sold to the government, China, and other nefarious groups.
