1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: The Jewels show on demand jubils dirty Little Secret. Well, hello, hello, hello, Hey, 2 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: what's up? You have a dirty little secret? I sure do, Hey, 3 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: one that I'm dying to tell people because I can't 4 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: tell anyone I know. But if you're dying to tell it, 5 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: guess what I'm living to hear it. So let's do it, 6 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: all right. So, um my Ganda is adopted and has 7 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: zero interest in finding out whose original biological parents were work. 8 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: But um I ended up having some neurological problems that 9 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: might have been genetically related. So I ended up doing 10 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: some DNA testing and they said, hey, do you want 11 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: to you know, throw on you know, find out where 12 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: you're from at the same time. So this was one 13 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: second sorry, this was like legit DNA testing. I mean, 14 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that ancestry dot com isn't legit, but 15 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: you didn't just pick your finger and mail it somewhere 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: and then they told you that you have a bunch 17 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,639 Speaker 1: you're from the Netherlands or something, right, No, No, this 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: was for medical reasons. And so anyway, what happened is 19 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: it came back and they said, do you want to 20 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: share the DNA with like ancestry and twenty three and 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: me and all that other stuff, and I'm like, yeah, whatever. 22 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: So out of the blue, about a week later, I 23 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: get an email from a lady telling me, you know, 24 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: who are you? I know all my family blah blah blah, 25 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, this is crazy. My dad's adopted 26 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: so it's probably related. And the girl could not believe it. 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: So the only person that could have been related, because 28 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: it tells you if you're on if it was from 29 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: the mother's side or the father's side, that the relationship 30 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: was was her older sister. So she went to her 31 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: older sister and was like, yo, you gets something to 32 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: tell me. And because no one knew about my dad 33 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: and a long story short, turns out, she got pregnant 34 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: and back in the late forties, what would happen? They 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: just send the girl away, had the baby come back, 36 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: Like nothing ever happened. My dad got adopted out, she 37 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: got sent away, and so no one knew about it. 38 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: She finally confessed. Her sister said, yeah, this is what happened, 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: and that must obviously behind the any matches. But she said, 40 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: I don't want any contact, horrible memory that, please don't 41 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: contact me further about it. At the homeline yards. Dang, 42 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, you know who your dad's mom is, but 43 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: he doesn't. Oh yeah, but that's not the juicy part. 44 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: Juicy part is at the same at the same time, 45 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: the same thing happened on my father's side or his 46 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: father's side, And so now I was able to find 47 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: out exactly who my dad's biological father was. And I 48 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: know and I've spoken to my dad and sister, which 49 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: he doesn't know about. But yeah, because they didn't have 50 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: DNA testing back in mid day. Yeah, but at this 51 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: point the guy is like se nile and on the 52 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: other side, I can't say anything. And then what am 53 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: I supposed to do with my dad? Say? Hey, guess what. 54 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: By the way, you didn't want to find your family, 55 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: but I ended up finding him, So I'm stuck. Now 56 00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: that is crazy. That's crazy information to have, and I 57 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: really know what to do with it. Yeah. The way 58 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: it connects it to me is that my dad's adopted 59 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: I needed medical information related to the DNA. He doesn't 60 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: know who his parents are. I ended up doing DNA 61 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: testing through that process, I ended up finding out who 62 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: his parents were, and so now I know who both are. 63 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: The girl doesn't want anything to do with my dad 64 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. Her husband has no 65 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: idea she ever had a baby kids, So he's got 66 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: brothers and sisters out there that have no idea he exists. 67 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: And so now I'm stuck with knowing exactly who my 68 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: dad's family is and can't tell anybody. I think the 69 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: thing that you could do, maybe for yourself, is accept 70 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: the fact that you can't do anything with the information. 71 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: Don't wrestle with it. Just accept it. Hey, um, okay, 72 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: and then give your dad a hug and let him 73 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: know that he's loved. If there's any other updates, yeah, yeah, 74 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: you know it now, it's definitely I mean, yeah, I 75 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: can't look at all of your dad.

Oh yeah, Well, the funny thing 85 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: is is now that my DNA is in my system. 86 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: If any of his unknown brothers or sisters ever do 87 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: a DNA test, it's gonna paint, so it might inevitably 88 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: happen elsewhere.
