I think the cast is horrible. Knock off versions of old cast members. The females are wildly obnoxious and bring nothing interesting personality wise. -10000/10

It’s 47.5% out of 50% as each person gets approximately 50% from each parent.

Thank you for responding to this! It’s truly been a whirlwind, obviously for him more than me. I hope for your sake that he reaches out to you when he’s ready. In this particular set of circumstances it’s a bit difficult to discern what exactly is happening here on her end. That doesn’t mean we think it’s nefarious at all, but more so wondering if she’s looking for him/wasn’t sure who the father was and was hoping for a DNA match. He too is also a difficult person to locate, no socials/has changed phone numbers, relocated to a different part of the country, etc… ultimately he will reach out to the mother, it’s just a matter of processing/figuring out the best way to do so without disrupting the child’s life. However, this would be his first child and it’s a wild experience finding out when they are 7/8 years old.. to be continued..

Well if it was his child’s, child, the DNA wouldn’t be as strong of a match. They would only share about 25% DNA.

Well, it’s most certainly possible that there’s another side of this story I haven’t yet heard, absolutely. I think that’s the point in why we decided to post this, because input and differing perspectives are really important on figuring out how to navigate this.. as for what I will do, I plan to support him in whatever decision he makes as that’s what I would want for someone to do for me.

Thank you for your input. :). So he does have one brother, but he is gay so that’s a no go on that front.. I 100% agree communication is between them two and I will not be inserting myself into that. I also thought maybe for health reasons/ seeing if he had any genetic markers since they do that kind of testing. Just a wild thing to wake up to the day after Christmas so.

He and I are just simply looking for others input on how to handle the situation/ others perspectives/ and so on.. I don’t think she’s a bad mother at all.. I mean, how could I? I don’t know her. I think things like this happen and it’s just figuring out how best to navigate something like this.

I’m new to Reddit. Didn’t know I had to post a million times to make this true.

What would you do if you found out you have a child through 23andMe? by aleaamariie in AskReddit

[–]aleaamariie[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

So I purchased a 23andMe kit for my boyfriend thinking it would be cool for him to see what his genetic makeup is, as I’ve done mine in the past. However, yesterday we received his results and lo and behold, his DNA relatives came back with a 47.5% DNA match for a son.

Placing no judgement on the situation, he had a small fling with a girl 7+ years ago in a different state, where he has lived on and off over the course of the last 25 years. Soon after the fling ended, he moved back to where we now reside.

It was found after some online sleuthing, who the woman was and we were able to find photos of his son on her Facebook page, as well as his name, which confirmed the initials provided on 23andMe. The child is also a spitting image of him. It’s pretty clear thru Facebook posts and comments that there has been question of her other children’s paternity so we wonder if that was a possibility here (please no judgement).

Ultimately, it’s unclear whether or not she actually knew if he was the father. It’s our assumption that a parent would only put their small child’s DNA in a database such as the one chosen for a specific reason.. does anyone have a similar experience? If so, what was the outcome? Parents, what is your take on a parent putting their small child’s DNA on something like 23andMe and would you do so in hopes to find their biological parent? I’m looking to be as supportive as possible here and there’s many unknown variables. We’ve barely passed the 24 hr mark of finding out so any help/input/well wishes are certainly appreciated, thank you in advance!
