Finding Support for Unexpected DNA Discoveries Patient Stories with Grey Genetics

Brianne Kirkpatrick returns to the podcast to give us an update  on changes in direct-to-consumer (DTC) and ancestry genetic testing over the past two years. Some of the biggest changes: a greater awareness of privacy concerns and more resources and support for those affected by unexpected DNA discoveries.

Brianne Kirkpatrick is a licensed and certified genetic counselor and the founder of Watershed DNA. She provides online group and 1 to 1 support for individuals affected by unexpected DNA discoveries. Brianne is a co-author of The DNA Guide for Adoptees and is currently working on her second book, one for individuals involved in surprise DNA family discoveries.
