It's In Your DNA

Why Won't Anyone Just Tell Me?


Listen Later

Jacy and her identicl twin sister always never knew who their birth father was but never asked until age 23. DNA revealed the truth her mother still denies, and the man she reached out to refuses to speak. Left with silennce instead of answers, she's still asking: Why won't anyone just tell me?

Raised by a single mom until age five, then adoped by the man who became "Dad" at seven, she and her identical twin sister lived a happy childhood without many questions about their origins. When she decided to dive into Ancestory DNA and family trees, the results pointed directly to a man her mother knew well.

Even when confronted, her mom still denied ever being with him. When she reached out to this man, his silence only deepened the mystery. Still left with no medical history or acknowledgment, she continues searching for the truth her mother refuses to give her.

This episolde explores what happens when the desire for answers collides with secrets, and how DNA can open doors some still try to keep locked.
