Listen to Donna, Vanner, Devin and Kelly, as they discuss with Ellen:

• Discovering Vanner was the genetic father of only one of their sons; results for their second son, conceived via IVF, read “father unknown.”

• Facing their fears of the unknown – could the genetic father have rights to their child?

• Seeking out the genetic father to support their son’s wishes.

• The McNeils getting that call, sure at first that it must be a scam.

• Learning the truth, and both families navigating what that truth would mean for the future of their children.

• What they hope to gain from a legal action against the clinic.

• Advice to families considering taking a DNA test
