Hoosier Daddy? Who’s YOUR daddy? Maybe you thought you knew…until the results of a commercial DNA test changed everything you thought you knew about yourself, your life and your family.
You kind of take for granted knowing you are…who your family is…until a DNA test tells you differently. And by the way, DNA doesn’t lie.
Meet Tim, Casey and Jennifer…these three friends met in high school. Life took them in different directions, but they reunited in the Fall of 2018 and realized they had a traumatic experience in common — they all learned in recent years that a parent who raised them was not biologically related to them. Whether you call it Misattributed Parentage or Not Parent Expected (NPE) — these three friends independently learned that the Dad who raised them was not their biological father. Through the podcast, they’ll share their stories and perspectives.
Through the Hoosier Daddy Podcast, they’ll share their experiences and offer insight into an issue that is rising in frequency with the popularity of commercially available DNA tests. Experts believe as many as 15 to 20% of those taking DNA tests will make a shocking discovery…unexpected siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins…parents!
These discoveries bring with them new information….new relatives, different ethnicity, changed medical histories, a changed sense of personal identity, navigating new or changed relationships and the unveiling of long-hidden family secrets. The impact of this discovery can be emotional and far-reaching.
