I have a 23andMe DNA kit and I’m not afraid to use it!
If you follow my blog or know me a little more than most—like the way one may “know” Nutella after eating half a container—then you’ll know that I am adopted. Orphaned, then adopted. I literally made it 40 years not knowing anything about my birth family.
Well, that’s about the change… a little bit any way.
23andMe will provide what percentage of my DNA is from what populations of the world and allows members to connect with others that share their DNA, “DNA Relatives”, via the 23andMe social network site.
My kit is registered and my profile set up. I’ll know more in 3-4 weeks when the results come in. “Congratulations, you’ve been cloned!” Sometime around the end of December I’ll share “Part Two: The Results”.
To learn more about my views on adoption, please check out my post:
“Philomena / What Are You?”
Wish me luck! I’m rollin’ for some Charlemagne! ahahaaa!
