Thats the first thing that would cross my mind if someone asked me to take a DNA test

identical huh? except for the whole penis thing? If you're gonna be a twin take a minute to research fraternal

Best wishes. I hope it’s a positive experience for you and your family.

Not to derail this thread, but I'm curious at what age were you told that you were adopted? My wife and I are finalizing the adoption of our 5 month old and we want to eventually tell him, but have no clue as to when.

If this isn't a troll and turns out to be true, you guys may consider reaching out to genetic scientists who study twins. I'm pretty sure twins split at birth is like the holy grail for them (although there is already a fair amount out there about it). You might be interested in the results too.
Also, as I'm sure you already appreciate, I expect this is a conflicting time for your adoptive parents. Probably don't need someone to tell you that, but if it were me I'd want to keep their emotions in mind in this process.

Nice... good luck

That sounds exciting and terrifying. Best of luck.

My wife and her brother were both adopted (not her bio brother, just a 2nd adopted child for the family). They were told at a young age, like 10'ish I believe. I've heard the kids have a lot of resentment if they find out or get suspicious on their own.
I bet there's tons of medical/psych research on the topic of best age to tell them. Good luck man and congrats.

I fully get the wanting to make sure your related. I would just be a little thrown off if someone claiming to be my sister called me out of the blue and told me to take a DNA test on their dime
Someone that you didn't know existed showing up "out of the blue" seems like would be the most common way for such a person to show up. Also, getting a DNA test from a legit testing/medical facility seems like the most logical way to tell if you are related to someone. Being that she is the one who approached the OP I don't think it's a red flag that she is offering to cover the cost of finding out the results since it's her hunch they are related and ultimately could be a waste of money if the results are negative.

OP didn't mention that they had actually met and conversed for a while before the DNA test was mentioned, which clearly changes things from what I was asking

I couldn’t have asked for better parents and even though I lost my dad to bone cancer a couple of years ago, he definitely supported me in my quest to find out about my bio parents. My mom was a bit taken back by the whole thing, but she also fully supports me, she just wants me to be happy. I owed them more than i could ever repay in a lifetime after all they gave all for me.

Threads like this remind me that the OT isn’t completely dead
