Investigative reporter Matt Katz has been searching for his biological father since he was a little kid. But it wasn't until his 40s that he realized he was on the wrong journey altogether. The true story is wrapped in confusion and secrecy, and in the end it upended the truth about who he is – raising questions about identity, fatherhood, medical ethics and what family really means. But will finding answers make him whole, or just make things even more complicated?
Inconceivable Truth is an 8-episode series with new episodes publishing Thursday mornings.

Rabbit hole of fascinating information!
This really is an odyssey and our intrepid adventurer, Matt, is a great story teller.
I appreciate that it’s not locked behind a paywall.
I have Irish ancestry and it has made me want to get a DNA test although I’m sure it wouldn’t be as wild a ride as this one!
I did note that during the Dr’s interview he counted 1965 or thereabouts to the mid 80s as thirty years. I’m not a mathematician but I’m pretty sure it’s only 20 or so.
Enjoy the exploration by this brave truth seeker !
Love it
Such an interesting story. Hope you find your father.
