    #321 Reuniting Amerasian Families: John Haines' Story & Father Founded's Mission

    On Episode 310, we explored the powerful work of Father Founded, an organization dedicated to reuniting Amerasian families separated by war. We shared the heartwarming story of Scott McMullen, a retired firefighter and veteran, who discovered his long-lost daughter through the group's efforts. With how popular this episode was, we wanted to share another story from Father Founded. So we are going to hear from John Haines about his family’s story and volunteer Angela Simmons-Jones’s role.  John’s journey began in 2012 when he received a life-changing message from a woman claiming to be his daughter, sparking his mission to reconnect families and advocate for Amerasians in the Philippines. Angela, a U.S. Air Force veteran and genealogist, has been volunteering with Father Founded since 2020, using her skills to help families reunite through DNA and genealogy. Angela Simmons-Jones was born and raised in Illinois and after retiring from the United States Air Force, she settled in Georgia. She works for a public library system and has been volunteering her graphic design, genealogy and organization skills for Father Founded since 2020.  Angela has been working on her own family tree since 2012 and has taken Advanced Genetic Genealogy for Librarians with the American Library Association.  Angela has a Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Management with an emphasis on Logistics from Ashford University.  She is married to another USAF retiree, has a teenage son, too many pets, and raises monarchs.  Together, they’ll share John’s personal story, the challenges Amerasians face, and how their work is making a difference for families around the world. Takeaways: John Haines was diagnosed with stage four lymphoma, which changed his perspective on life. He received a message on Facebook from a woman claiming to be his daughter, leading to a DNA test. The Amerasian Homecoming Act allowed some children to reunite with their American fathers, but many were left out. There are an estimated 50,000 Amerasian children in the Philippines who are seeking connection with their American fathers. Legislative advocacy is crucial for including the Philippines in the Amerasian Homecoming Act. Father Founded provides DNA kits to help families connect and navigate legal hurdles. Many veterans are unaware of their biological children due to the complexities of relationships during wartime. The process of reuniting families often involves significant legal challenges and emotional struggles. John emphasizes the importance of love and connection in pursuing family reunification. Advocacy efforts continue to push for legislative changes to support Amerasian families. You can learn more about Father Founded here including donating to their amazing cause. This is the closed Facebook group that Father Founded uses to connect people.    Stay tuned for the next new episode of DNA Today next Friday! New episodes are released every Friday.

He is also the Director and Gogel Family Professor of the Mindich Child Health and Development Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He is Professor of Pediatrics and of Genetics and Genomic Sciences. Dr. Gelb completed a pediatric residency and pediatric cardiology fellowship at Babies Hospital of Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center and Texas Children’s Hospital at the Baylor College of Medicine, respectively. He joined the faculty at Mount Sinai in 1991 after fellowship and has remained there since. He developed and now oversees an extensive program in genomics/gene discovery for congenital heart disease. Dr. Gelb has received the E. Mead Johnson Award from the Society for Pediatric Research and the Norman J. Siegel New Member Outstanding Science Award from the American Pediatric Society. He was elected to the American Society of Clinical Investigation and the National Academy of Medicine (formerly, the Institute of Medicine). Dr. Gelb is the President for the American Pediatric Society, Immediate Past President for the International Pediatric Research Foundation and Treasurer-Elect for the American Society of Human Genetics.

Together, they’ve identified a genetic mutation with life-saving implications for families affected by inherited heart conditions, like Dr. Liebman’s own.   Meet Our Guests: Dr. Susan Liebman is a trailblazing molecular geneticist who uses yeast as a model organism to study prions and human protein misfolding diseases such as ALS and Alzheimer’s. Her research also extends to the prion form of the cancer gene p53. With over 100 publications in leading journals, including Nature, Science, and Cell, and more than $13 million in research funding, her contributions to the field are substantial. Susan began her scientific journey as one of MIT’s early female undergraduates (B.S. 1968) and went on to earn advanced degrees from Harvard (M.S. 1969) and the University of Rochester (Ph.D. 1974) medical schools. In addition to her research, she taught genetics to undergraduate and graduate students for more than 35 years.   Dr. Elizabeth McNally directs the Center for Genetic Medicine at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago and is the Elizabeth J. Ward Professor of Genetic Medicine. She is a practicing cardiologist with expertise in cardiovascular genetics. As a clinician, she developed practices for integrating genetic information into cardiovascular care. She has a special interest in neuromuscular diseases like muscular dystrophy and their accompanying cardiovascular complications.   Episode Highlights: - Family Medical History: Dr. Liebman shares the powerful backstory behind “The Dressmaker’s Mirror” and how a century-old family secret shaped her journey in genetic research and advocacy. - Discovering the FLNC Mutation: Dr. McNally discusses the process of uncovering this mutation in Dr. Liebman’s family, highlighting the challenges and breakthroughs in genetic testing and the importance of tracking family medical history. - Genetic Screening and Personalized Medicine: The guests examine the future of genetic testing, including the ethical complexities and benefits of population screening for high-risk groups, like Ashkenazi Jews, who have a higher frequency of the FLNC mutation. - Preventive Care in Cardiology: Dr. McNally shares insights on integrating genetic data into cardiology, from identifying cardiomyopathy risks to offering personalized care for patients. - Barriers to Genetic Testing: They address why only a small percentage of cardiomyopathy cases are referred for genetic testing and discuss ways to increase access and education around genetic testing’s role in heart health. - The Future of Gene Therapy: Hear Dr. McNally’s outlook on gene therapy advancements for actionable genes, including the latest on FLNC’s addition to the ACMG list of actionable genes.   Enter Book Giveaway!
