[quote=Anonymous]I have found great joy in finding my half-sibling through a commercial DNA service so I have bias toward it, I'll admit. But here are a few things to consider: - your child's curiosity is real and valid. Ethnic origins are important to many people. If a service can provide more info than the bio parents can, I think it would help a lot to fill in your child's missing pieces and questions - Kinship ties are important. Love is important. Your child has love from you, and discovering other kinship ties is not a threat to that. Let your child know his/her kin. - origin stories go beyond parents. I have learned a lot and grown a lot from better understanding the immigration stories of my extended family and relations. Are you open to your child better understanding his/her identity through building out their genetic family tree? It could help a lot. - [/quote]
