Frequently Asked Questions – My DNA Discovery
What is My DNA Discovery?
My DNA Discovery is a safe space for people who’ve uncovered unexpected DNA results through genetic testing. Here, you’ll find resources, stories, and guidance to help you process your discovery and feel supported as you explore questions of identity, family, and belonging.
Who is this site for?
This site is for anyone experiencing a DNA discovery, whether you’ve learned about a new parent, sibling, or relative, or uncovered family secrets you didn’t expect. It’s also for people supporting loved ones as they navigate DNA surprises.
Why do DNA surprises happen?
Surprising DNA results can occur for many reasons, including adoption, donor conception, misattributed parentage, or hidden family history. With at-home DNA testing becoming more common, many people are now uncovering truths their families never shared.
What should I do if I’ve just found out something unexpected from a DNA test?
Take your time. Coping with DNA testing surprises can feel overwhelming. It’s normal to feel shock, grief, or anger alongside curiosity or relief. Start by grounding yourself, and seeking DNA discovery support from counsellors or trusted communities.
Is it normal to feel upset or confused?
Yes, completely. Unexpected DNA results can bring on waves of emotion and challenge your sense of identity and belonging. Even positive discoveries can be destabilising. These feelings are natural, and you don’t have to go through them alone.
Do you offer counselling or professional support?
We share resources and links to professional DNA discovery support. Many people find it helpful to work with a counsellor who understands the unique challenges of unexpected DNA discoveries and the impact on family relationships.
How do I talk to my family about my DNA discovery?
Every family responds differently to DNA testing surprises. Our resources include tips on approaching sensitive conversations, setting healthy boundaries, and protecting your well-being as you navigate family reactions.
