A family who took DNA tests for fun ended up uncovering a huge secret when results revealed that the youngest son wasn't biologically theirs
A family who took DNA tests for fun ended up uncovering a huge secret when results revealed that the youngest son wasn't biologically theirs.
Vanner was the father of their eldest son, but not their youngest which showed the father's DNA was unknown. Trying to wrap her head around what the results meant was when Donna had a moment of "sickening clarity" and realised there must have been a mix up at the IVF clinic. The boys did look different with Vanner Jr described as having his dad's blue eyes and fair hair, while Tim had Donna's dark hair and was sportier. Years later, the family decided to do their own home DNA test to learn more about where they come from. Six weeks later, the results came back and changed their lives forever.
Donna said she sank into depression and struggled to focus at work as a teacher as she came to grapple with the earth-shattering news. Using another DNA test from a different company, they tracked down a woman they thought could be Tim's biological aunt. After some digging they found a blog written by the woman's brother, called Devin McNeil who lived in Colorado, eight hours from the family.
