Well your wife’s awesome. My wife isn’t there yet but she admitted a lot of her hesitation is basically because she wished we had a child together and she resents that it turns out that I had yet another child which wasn’t hers too. And I get it.

This happened to a good friend of mine- she is married to a man who is 20yrs older than her. They have two kids together and he has two more from a previous marriage.

For their whole marriage/ He has always claimed that he was 1/4 Irish - She would always disagree so finally, she bought a 23&me to prove him wrong and they found out he had 3 other children from 3 other women back in his college days lol

It’s been very tense lol …i laugh at her bc- if she didn’t try to prove him wrong…none of this would be known

My wife and I both had DNA testing. She has connected with a boatload of cousins she was unaware of around the U S., Mexico, and even Scotland. We have been invited to stay in so many places!
We both had no concerns about if our parents were really our parents and I was not worried about any other kids out there, although I know two other people that found out their dads were not their real fathers!

Did the DNA kits and it led to me connecting with my father December 2020 after 42 yrs of not knowing. My mom never said anything. Meet him in March 2021 for paternity test and it came back positive. He passed away in July 2021. I went to the service and met a ton of family that welcomed me with open arms. My wife, kids, and I are heading down to Louisiana tomorrow so they can meet everyone. It has been wonderful, but so many emotions with it all.

My wife was adopted and at 50 yrs decided she wanted to learn about her heritage. We got her an ancestry kit and sent it off.


My best friend did the same when she was about 50. She also got an almost immediate email with the name of a person that was 90+% her dad. Of course, her dad also was notified. His brother emailed her and they talked within a few days. She talked to her dad within a week. His whole family knew about my friend and he had been looking for her for years. He and his current wife of many years only had one son who never married and has no children. She has 4 kids. Both her adoptive parents had been dead many years. She and her kids were thrilled that they have a grandparent now! He had no grandkids till he found her. They talk often. He lives in Orange Co and they have visited many times.

He knew who her mother was. They were in Corpus Christi during the Vietnam war where he was in pilot training. She loved him. He knew she had another boyfriend she was engaged to in San Antonio who agreed to marry her if she’d give up the baby. She did. The dad felt guilty and always wondered about his child.

Bio mom never told her kids she had another child. My friends has met her bio mom and family. They live close as she is in Houston and they San Antonio, but they don’t talk much or see each other more than once a year or so.

My friend and bio dad are so happy to have found each other that it’s all worth it.

I've posted this a few times but in my man hoe hay day no one used protection except for the pill and you couldn't catch anything that Tetracycline couldn't take care of, I've often wondered if I have any offspring out there, I was the master of the hit and run, would be terrified to do one of those tests

This shite is happening more and more. My mom found out she had a half sister last week. Her father had got a girl pregnant as a teenager before he met my grandmother and he had never told anyone.

Your daughter did the DNA test hoping or at least thinking it could lead to her finding out who her dad is.

With her being told she was a product of rape, I cannot imagine the emotions going through her head.

How old was her mom at the time y'all had sex?

You were 22, was it possible she was under 18?

The mom is having a lot of emotions in this as well. Remember, she raised a child by herself and that is not easy. The mom may not make it easy for the daughter to open up to you.

Do not forget about your wife's feelings.

Not to be a party pooper, but be careful of the potential risks here. “Mom” might have told her parents the guy at the campground raped me. Just a lot of potential downside. I doubt she told her parents it was consensual and then y’all’s daughter it was rape. You might have a cold case tucked out there somewhere. Seriously.

Brother believe me I have mulled this possibility over, six ways to Sunday


Like the previous poster said, I hate to be dark here, but is one of the possibilities you've considered that she truly believes she was raped? You said ya'll were drinking heavily. Could she vaguely remember the next morning and is claiming "date rape" sincerely in her mind? Again, I hate to bring this dark stuff up, but it's been on my mind through a couple of pages now.

Thank you for all the kind advice and insight. My wife said the same, she probably did the DNA kit to find me. But she keeps me at arms length, which is extremely frustrating so I have to keep reminding myself that this has turned her world inside out and she needs time. But this knowledge makes me want to be closer to her even more. It hasn't been easy. And yes I've thought about what the mom's going through. Based on her age now, she was 2 years younger than me - 19 or 20 at the time. I feel very badly about this because at a young age, she was left to raise a kid with no father.

is claiming "date rape"


30 years ago, there was no such term as "date rape". Women didn't think of it that way then. They usually blamed themselves, as "I got so wasted and OMG, I woke up naked in his apartment."

I really think it was the easiest story for her 30 years ago. I'm sure she knows y'all were all wasted/high/whatever.

Truly, most women aren't delusional as to blame a guy for rape when they were both drunk. Or maybe they are now, but they sure weren't then.

I've done both of the tests.. my mom's cousin did too and she found out my grandmother's dad wasn't her biological dad, then had the audacity to tell her this while she's in her mid-80s and went her entire life without knowing. A bomb dropped that her dad wasn't her real dad and her sister was really her half-sister.

Aside from finding out you had a daughter, did you get to see how white you are?

if I am being completely honest with myself there was a time or two back in my college years where “consent” was a little nebulous. Certainly not violent but more coercive under the influence

it is my greatest life regret

What are your results baw? They recently updated results based on increased reference panel sizes (I assume) - they basically update results every year.

Scotland 31% (9-31% range)
England & Northwestern Europe 27% (26-58% range)
Sweden & Denmark 14% (0-23% range)
Ireland 11% (0-21% range)
Germanic Europe 9% (0-29% range)
Wales 5% (0-10% range)
Norway 3% (0-12% range)

They suck with German.. if I add up all the Germanic regions (Sweden/Denmark, Germanic, Norway) I get 26% which is damn close to my 23andMe at 27.4% French & German. So I look at Ancestry's results that way. They are trying to do way too much though whereas 23andMe just has a British & Irish category (which I'm 70.9%).
