    My niece found me when she was in her late 30s. I finally got to meet her right before she turned 40.
    The interesting bit was when I had to explain why her DNA test was so odd.
    Now she knows that her mother and her father are half siblings and she can get more adequate medical care

    Found out a month ago through DNA testing that my grandmother was not who she said she was and kind of made up an identity. We have contacted 1 new family member and are uncovering more and more.
