Episode 38: Teresa's Story Has a Twist 20 Years Later...


Listen Later

In this heartfelt episode of DNA Discoveries, Teresa opens up about her decades-long journey to uncover the truth about her biological roots. Adopted as an infant and raised in a loving home, she began searching for her birthmother in her 20s with very little to go on. A chance encounter with a private investigator set in motion a chain of events no one could have predicted.

From emotional first meetings to DNA results that raised more questions than answers, Teresa’s story is a powerful reminder of the complexity of identity, the courage it takes to seek the truth, and the surprising ways family can expand.

Whether you’re part of the adoptee, NPE (Not Parent Expected), or DNA testing community—or simply drawn to incredible real-life stories—this conversation is one you won’t forget.
