When I was around 8 to 10 years old I noticed that my mom and my one aunt didn’t look anything like my other aunts and uncles, I was told that my aunt and my mom had both been adopted (7 year age gap, not from the same same mother). At the time I didn’t quite understand what the meant other than my grandmother did not birth my mom.

As I got older I was more curious of my moms adoption; my grandmother had no problem talking about my aunts biological mother but would not talk about my moms. There was rumours in the family that my mother had been the product of a love child from one of my grandfathers many affairs although it hasn’t been confirmed.

With my upcoming wedding and hopes of starting a family of my own I want to know about my biological grandparents health history, possibly communicate with them etc.

My whole life my mother has been against this idea and this morning I was thinking about it and just happened to click on Amazon and lone behold, DNA tests marked down!
