Our daughter always wanted to know the other half of her genetics - and we always wanted her to know them - enough that we had asked a friend to be a donor. Unfortunately, once the friend declined we were left with the medical system which imposes secrecy on the process.

So we were thrilled when she got a message from a woman on 23 & me suggesting that her husband was a 100% match as my daughter's biological father. She met him (and the rest of her relatives on that side of the family) in person on father's day about 2 months later. They invited her to be as much a part of their crazy family as she wanted.

I'm not sure they are in contact much any more - but we were thrilled that they welcomed her as part of their family. You're right - alwasy good to have more people to love and to love you!
