Testimonial Tuesday!!!

I've always known I was adopted.

Several years ago I decided I wanted to find my birth family. Back then I did it the "old-fashioned" way of going through the court system to get my adoption records, looking in phonebooks for specific names, etc., etc. After about 2 years I was successful and found my biological mother and maternal half siblings! I was thrilled!

When it came to my biological father we had no real good information except his last name may have been "Coleman" and his first name may have been "Kim".

So I turned to DNA and took an Ancestry DNA test. My sweet son in law decided he was going to figure out this puzzle and spent almost 2 years trying to put the pieces together!

Then, with help from Kathy at First Step DNA, the picture started to come together. It took her several long days but she finally made the connection!

My bio dad's name is Coleman but his first name is Kay not Kim!

I don't know if we would have ever figured this out without Kathy's expertise. She followed the DNA and then looked for the name (not the other way around!)

Here is a picture of me with one of my paternal half sisters! The best thing about being adopted is the people who come into your life and make it better!

Thank you Kathy for your help in completing my biological family tree! I believe this was pure divine intervention!

***TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY***

I never felt connected IN ANY WAY to my “birth certificate father” although when asked, my mother adamantly stated that he was my father!

Well … along came DNA testing and I couldn’t wait to take a test to see if it would show me whether or not he was my father.

When I received my DNA results back from Ancestry I did not have any matches with his family (or his seven other children) so I KNEW that he wasn’t my biological father (which I was grateful for)! Now what to do?

I tried piecing together my DNA matches to come up with possible biological family members. I thought I had things narrowed down but the pieces were just not coming together … that’s when Kathy at First Step DNA stepped in to SAVE ME!

She told me she wanted to start from the beginning, from scratch, by analyzing my Ancestry DNA results.

Within 24 hours she was calling me to tell me she had found my biological father! Unfortunately, he had just passed away a month before (at the age of 95). Kathy was able to find his obituary which has given me a lot of great information – including the feeling of BEING CONNECTED to him – you see, I LOVE to hunt and fish and his obituary emphasized that he loved the outdoors, fishing and hunting with his sons and grandsons!

I have several half-siblings that I am trying to contact but so far I haven’t been able to connect with any of them. Needless to say, Kathy has helped lift a HUGE BURDEN off of my shoulders! I always felt like I wasn’t part of the family I grew up in and that there was other family out there for me to find … now I’m just praying I will be able to connect with my newfound family!

I am 75 years old – I’m not looking for anything from this newfound family but just to know that they are who I BELONG to … I am a Spencer not a Jones!

This has been a remarkable journey and I’m so grateful for Kathy and her talents in helping piece together my biological family puzzle. Don’t hesitate to contact Kathy at First Step DNA – do it FIRST because she will be able to figure things out WAY BEFORE YOU WILL!

***TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY***

I’m an adoptee who had zero information about my biological family.

I received my Ancestry DNA results on December 12, 2021 and by January 13, 2022 (31 days) I had knowledge of both my biological parents. Unfortunately, my father had already passed. I have been in contact with my biological mother! I also have 3 new half siblings! WOW! What a 31-day ride!

Kathy Lewis at First Step DNA has been such a blessing in my life! She was able to put us on the correct path and then my oldest daughter went to work sleuthing around to find family members willing to talk.

At the age of 55 I have blood relatives! To those on this DNA journey hoping to find biological family members – stay the course! If you need help – reach out to Kathy at First Step DNA – you won’t be sorry you did!
