Did you hold a DNA assessment to confirm your bio relationship?
If you are in a reunion did you have a DNA test to confirm that you be actually related? If not are you certain? To me resemblance or things you have within common would not be enough since that can happen near non related people as well. I think I would want a DNA audition.
What got me thinking was a friend of mine in elementary academy. We were born at the same hospital on the same daytime hours apart and in rooms next to each other. Our family didn't know each other. Our names were similar. If I have been adopted and had minimal information to move about by in searching it could have slickly been mixed up. We also looked similar.
Has anyone ever thought they had found their bio family one and only to find out it wasn't them?
Didn't have to. He looks exactly like me. His medical issues are also an indicator that he is clearly related. However, if he wanted to do a dna test, I have no issue beside that.
Nope. It took me 10 years to even ask for my ID info to confirm it. There was no reason. I am my mother's daughter, the resemblance is shocking. My daughter's photo is on my g-ma's wall and inhabitants constantly comment on how they have never seen that picture of my sister. Even my adad can't bring up to date my sister and I apart on the phone. When you couple all the physical stuff with the fact that I be born in a VERY small town there was no opening I had found the wrong person.
I'm not adopt, but I don't have any doubt that my daughter's biological family are truly her biological family. Not simply records that were kept and that we have, resemblance and mannerism shared with different family members, but she also have a medical condition that seems to be genetic on one side of her biological family. Anyway, I think most race don't feel it necessary to do DNA testing unless near is some confusion and uncertainty. Usually other information can be confirming enough for most people.
I'm adopted and as it turns out I went to High School with my partly sister without ever knowing it. It came up in conversation when she be talking to my brother and after that I really saw how much we looked and talked alike. She and my real dad took a oral exam and it came up positive.
Since my son's adoption was an approachable adoption that ended up closed by the time he was five, there be no reason for DNA since I knew his first and middle names (I thought I know his last name too but his amom had in truth changed it three different times through his childhood.) And for the first two years of his life, when I actually got the visit I was promised, I knew what his aparents looked like as resourcefully so I didn't have any question if he was my son.
But, when I first found him again, after thirteen years of human being cut out of his life completely, it was through myspace and a close-up picture of him that first gave me a connotation that I had found him. It was his eyes. They were my eyes exactly. It be because of that first connection that I actually looked further and then confirmed he be indeed my son.

No, unnecessary due to the ability to confirm exact details of birth: time/place/dr/hospital.
Also, too many similarities both physically and in identity traits (with me and other family members).
no need for DNA test here!
I grew up with the occassional letter/picture so i have a pretty good idea of what my n-mom would look like. I also know her first name...and eventually her last name slipped through the agency, so I know her first and last name. Then she gave me my n-dad's christen...and when we met WOW we looked a lot alike. He also had pictures of me when I was somewhat kid (sent through the agency).
Really there's no denying it. It's not like being with my a-family, where on earth we try to "pass" as family because we have blonde hair. With my n-family it's unmistakeable...one of my bridesmaids that I hold known since jr. high said "that's jen's dad!" when my n-dad walked into the marriage reception...she had never met him, but could just tell because we look so much alike. Source(s): my enthusiasm
We did not get a dna test (we volunteered) but she know things that only I knew and then both of us wrote a dispatch to the adoption agency and they matched us up. Source(s): in reunion since
No, When we talked on the phone. She knew things that solely she would know when we meet she looks like me. So we decided not to do a DNA tryout but I would of if she didn't know things or didn't look like me.
Good Question, but no I didn't. My daughter is just starting to look like me. (gravity is seeing to that) When we met it be disappointing for her to not have that familial. But it didn't take long to figure out that we be in fact related. The hands be a dead give away, and lol I have the ugliest foot you have ever seen, sorry Rachael, she has my gross man feet. Our mannerisms, cadence, humor, tone, is adjectives too alike for us not to be related. When she found her father she still didn't find her face, until he broke out the pic's of his sisters. There she was.
Nope.
My adoption files confirmed it.
Nope. And Im not trying to be snarky, but when you're adopted, you have an aptitude to match people up, or always come up right as to who is related to whom.
There be absolutely no denying who my f Mom was. Not only do we look impossible to tell apart, but the way we stand, walk, talk, roll with laughter, use our hands- everything- is the same.
If there was a guessing hobby where you had to figure out who be related, and the contestants were non-adopted and adoptees, the adoptees would win every time. Dark hair or one and the same color eyes are superficial. Its the subtle things that most people dont even notice that families share through DNA that are undeniable. But adoptees pick up these subtle differences or similarities, because we enjoy no genetic mirroring while growing up.
My N sibs are the same way, too. Source(s): my gene pool
Answers: Nope...no DNA test done. My search angel had a database that programmed all the babies born on the day I gave birth within the city where I lived. There were 20 babies born..4 of those records have a certain symbol attached to it...meaning these children were issued amended birth certificate, of course meaning they were adopt. We did a process of elimination..as only one of these babies were born contained by the same hospital on that particular day mine be. My adult child already had her non-id..curiously my maiden name be not blacked out...only my first name. No other person next to my last name gave birth at like hospital at the same exact time, nor with the same immensity of the baby either...We both figured we be a match!
That's what is funny about the non-adopted--they don't see what we do. I had no idea what they would look close to until I saw them, then I thought, yup, that's them.
I could have picked both my parents pictures (when they were youngish) out of hundreds of individuals. My H.S. graduation picture looks EXACTLY like hers. I look a lot like him, too.
What's interesting is when they both saw me (not together) they respectively said that I looked like the other one. I think it's hard to see yourself surrounded by someone.
My mother's best friend was the first person to see me, and she declared my a "combo". She's right. Source(s): Adoptee in reunion beside nfamily for over 20 years
No need for DNA try-out. I first got pictures of my son and could see similarities right away. Then I got a copy of his Amended Birth Certificate. The medical details..my doctor's name, the hospital, time/date of birth, etc be all correct.
When I talked to my son, he sounded just similar to his natural father.
There were many other similarities, as okay.
No I didn't although my husband did suggest it before we actually met my son even though he had sent pics through to me by email.
My son and I look so much alike that anybody who doesn't know he be adopted would never guess it. We 'move' in the same instrument such as we both rub our noses in the same process, when we talk we move our hands in like peas in a pod way, the way we smile is the same. Our quill is the identical colour and the same texture - dark blond and fine - and our eye colour is one and the same - bluish grey with a slightly darker rim and slightly speckled. Even people who know right to be heard at times it's easy to forget that I didn't raise him because of the way we behave together.
I know what his first name had been changed to and that his middle first name had been kept has that's what his adoptive father's mark is. My son told me why his middle name was kept as he didn't know I already knew and that I also know his amum's first name. They knew a bit about me so when we be first in reunion he asked me leading questions so he know he had reunited with the right person. This be reinforced when I sent a pic as he'd already found my family and had seen pics of me already.
Like Sunny, I'm a pretty good combination of the two. With my mom, I have paperwork. I knew she was the right person, but I still saw her picture past I saw her, and it was unmistakable. The weirdest part was seeing my great-grandmother who died four years early at the age of 98. I saw myself in that old, old woman, and it really almost frightened me. I have met my grandfather for the first time that evening, and he was showing me family pics waiting for my mom to get home and answer the phone. It be in the pre-cellphone days. Seeing yourself in a 98-year-old woman on the first day you've ever see yourself in anyone is, well, shocking.
My dad and I did discuss a DNA test. We be at least a year into reunion when the subject arose. I don't even remember which one of us suggested it. I mean, all we respectively had was my mother's word and looking at one another. But again, there be strong family resemblances. I have his teeth complete with five years of braces. And some of the cousins and I really look alike. We discussed it and both approved we were satisfied without one. Although, we both would own been more than willing if either have any doubts.
