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.

Continuing the theme from the last episode, we hear another story of someone who finds out they're mixed race. Jodi grew up in a small town in Iowa. She excelled at school and sports hoping people would notice those things instead of the fact she looked so  different from everyone else. It worked.

But she took an ancestry DNA test in  middle age and got quite a shock

Kate was born in France to Portuguese parents. But she didn't look like anyone else in her family. Her whole life, everyone thought she was Mideastern or North African. Turns out, they were right.

Enter Samar, Kate's cousin, who wouldn't stop until Kate answered her. And then suddenly EVERYTHING made sense.

Moment of Truth... Today on Missing Pieces we have 5 stories that all focus on that moment when we find out the truth for the very first time. Rather it be that moment when we find out we are an NPE or the moment when we find that family member who we've been searching for. I love hearing about that pinnacle moment when every thing aligns and for the first time, we know the irrefutable truth.
