Missing Pieces - NPE is hosted, produced and edited by me, Don Anderson

Trigger warning!! If talk about suicice, threats of violence or domestic violence triggers you, maybe this episode isn't for you. Please try another one. 

The night Dana  found out about her NPE status is such an incredible story that it could stand as a complete episode all on it’s own.  But I’ve also included this insane cautionary tale about one her newly found family members.

And Dana has many other half-siblings we will get to at least one of them in a future episode.
