WHO'S MY GREAT DADDY? 33% OF AMERICANS DON'T KNOW?

[Box Ox]

Is that 23 thing good? Do you find relatives?

It is. I didn’t have any parent/cousin surprises and most of my relatives on there were 4th/5th cousin or farther back. Lots of folks do have surprises, though. Find out they have siblings they never knew about, their supposed parent isn’t actually their biological parent, etc.

I downloaded all of my ancestry/relative reports and data and canned my account. Privacy/data breaches/ownership transfers etc aren’t a big concern right now, but could be in the future.

I should get me one of those tests. Maybe find some kids now that it's past child support time.

I’m not adopted, but doing a 23andMe DNA test and then uploading the raw data to a service called Promethease allowed me to see all sorts of health-related stuff, both positive and negative that my genetic markers have probably set me up for. And it confirmed some theories I’d had about medications and substances I should avoid. Allowed me to make some immediate changes I might have otherwise waited years to move forward with, or even never made at all.

Adoptees might be well-served by doing the same. Privacy concerns are valid.

Did it confirm your micro penis ?

I could actually use a reduction. So it wasn’t a concern.

That is a whole different situation entirely. Completely understandable but I don't think the story was about that group.

I wonder what percentage of the population is adopted?

Me, for one. I don't know what 1/39000000.....what percentage am I?

How do you not know who your grandparents are unless maybe you are adopted?

My daughter will likely never know my wife’s mom.

A simple genetic blood panel told me I'm a BRCA2 mutation carrier and my kids needed to be warned. They found a cold case murderer because his sister did the DNA thing to find out her heritage...….found out her brother murdered someone in 1992.

finding relatives does not sound positive to me.....trouble!!

 

[Box Ox]

Could be. I didn’t have any surprises or close relatives show up who I didn’t already know. Lotta people do, and it can of course be life changing for them.

Maury could do a week of "UPS Split Driver Daddy's" episodes!

You’d be the first one on there?

Not without legal representation.

Anyway, for that type of show, you need people like @Poop Head , @MyTripisCut , @burrheadd , or @silverbullet2893. They fit the formula like central casting.

Lol. Don’t try to act all innocent as if you didn’t screw around on your route.

I simply do not fit the Maury panel profile unlike those other guys.

Two males having sex does not result in a love child ... sorry.

What do know about particle collider's?

They don’t have sex!

But they do give nerdy scientists orgasms.

If homosexuality were a choice, that fact would probably drive many a man into the “pitched tent” of his BFF.
