For fun, Janeen Jackson decided to take a DNA test with her brothers at 46 years old. However, what was initially thought to be fun, turned out to be a devastating discovery, as she found that she was no match to her brothers. So, this test must be a scam for people to get money. Believing to have the resemblance of her grandmother, the thought of adoption never crossed her mind. Not only did she learn she was adopted at 46 years old, she also learned she was mixed race. A white Jewish father and a Black mother was something that never walked through her thoughts. She missed out on her culture, roots and family and lived in a lie for the first 46 years of her life. But why? Was it too hard to be honest with the sweet baby? The hurt she processed turned into a children's novel titled, Hello, Sweet Baby. A motivational speaker, author, pianist, blogger and so much more, Janeen began to learn all of what makes her who she is today. She learned where her talent and creativity came from. She found her biological parents through DNA testing. She found siblings. She got the story and learned so much about why she was placed, fostered and adopted. To purchase her book, you can visit her blog or website. This is a personal story, written about her personal experience in finding out she was adopted later in life. www.janeenjackson.com www.mixedupdiary.com [email protected]
