It wasnt enough until now.. My DNA Result
It wasnt enough:
- I look “full Korean”, even to Korean Koreans.
- I knew my adoptive father was a liar.
- My Afather’s story of how he rescued me from Korea sounded unbelievable.
- Finding details about my adoption has always been explained to me as “finding a needle in a haystack”.
- I have been afforded better opportunities in the US than had I stayed in Korea.
So here is MY quote for the day.
When truth doesnt find you….you find the truth.
In my May 1st post…Why Did you Adopt Me? My Identity Story….I explained that I was 99.9999999% confident my adoptive father lied to me and he was NOT my biological father as he told me and countless others. My gut told me he concocted another lie. Twenty-five years and two months later, I went to a DNA lab to give me scientific proof.
Although adoptive father is no longer living….he did father 2 biological sons. The DNA lab performed a half-siblings test. Basically, the test calculated the probability of bio son and I sharing the same father.
Here is the result.

.00001% probability we share the same father!
My gut was the same as the DNA results! The DNA tests validates my adoptive father was a liar AND there is no way in hell he EVER fathered me. If my afather’s lie was the truth, my biological mother died 41 years ago. This test tells me that I am not related to the sicko AND there is hope my biological mother is still living.
This is such an awesome feeling! Even though I am by myself, I shouted and danced around! Finally, some good news!
It wasnt enough…until now!

Wow, I am jumping up and down as well! To KNOW is to free you from tons of ’stuff’, As you process this verification that you felt in your own spirit, may God’s Spirit open doors for you that no one can open. I am thrilled and just knew he was lying to you. That he abused you cannot change, but now that you know the truth everything must be processed and re-thought by you. You will have many more bumps on your journey.
Now you can continue to step through the looking glass, continue on your personal path to healing. I will post a link to your posts soon as I figure out how to do all that. I just learned how to hyperlink couple of weeks ago, LOL.
Peace to you! Thank you for sharing your life to us. We who are Adopted salute you!

Yes, it’s amazing knowing the truth! It’s a lesson learned not to allow fear to hold you back. I was fearful that my adoptive father was also my bio father, but I knew I couldnt allow that fear to paralyze me. Knowing the truth as you have recognized, will open more doors for me. I no longer have that burden left to speculation. I appreciate your dance of joy with me!

How liberating for you to know the truth!!!
What a little truth can do – people can’t even fathom – hell, I can’t even fathom what you must be feeling right now! Being validated like that – with HARD SCIENCE! Awesome!
I hope you celebrate and do something wonderful for yourself. You deserve this and so much more.
In solidarity…

Thanks so much! When my husband I and talked about the result last week, I realized how much anger I was holding about this issue. I can now move forward, realizing that I will now longer devote any more negative emotions or time to the lie. I have been following your time in Korea and thankful you will continue your blog. It looks like we both have some recent positive events in our lives!
As always, I wish you much joy and peace!
