So well done!
This show is so well written and presented. Such interesting stories about how DNA brings secrets to life and how it impacts those involved. I am an adoptee who found my birth family (including a full brother!) and am developing relationships with them. No one can understand this stuff unless you’ve been through it yourself. Thank you for sharing these stories!
