“One of my greatest joys in life has always been maintaining longterm friendships and connecting the disparate parts of my life. Finding and meeting my DNA family has opened up a new world of love and friendship that I never imagined. Also, it’s just crazy cool, like I’m living a science fiction movie or maybe a science experiment.”
