Hello, I’m Stacy, the host of Mothers, Lies and DNA Surprises Podcast. Thank you for being here.  Today I am sharing Colleen’s story!   

Colleen will share how, from a very young age, that she noticed she didn’t look like anyone in her family and even said she thought she was switched at birth.  We hear this often, that from a  young age so many NPEs noticed something was off, of course we couldn’t have known what secrets were being kept from us but proves that it does make a difference, even to young children. 

Here is a trigger warning-Colleen will mention date rape as part of her story, please proceed with caution if this is a trigger for you.  

Colleen’s story includes an initial connection with a ½ sister and from this ½ sister she learns about their father but later learns she has discovered another NPE.

As Colleen discusses her relationship with her mother she will also talk about setting boundaries and no longer allowing things to be swept under the rug anymore.

For anyone who knows me you know that forgiveness in a difficult topic for me but Colleen speaks so nicely about forgiveness & releasing, surrounding herself with people she can be vulnerable with and we also talk about how being vulnerable helps build connections both within the DNA surprise community as well as with others in our lives.

 Colleen is open to connecting via email as well as calling or texting her, if you would like to connect with Colleen by phone or text please email me at [email protected] and I will be happy to give you her number.

Thank again Colleen for sharing your story for the first time with us!
