[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again.  Thank you to all for your advice.  I need some more advice -how to tell her that she is too young.  Telling her “No” invites a “I’m going to do it anyway secretly” outlook from her.   My daughter has been asking me to do these tests for the “cool” part.  I wanted to do the test for health purposes - later in life I found out my aunt had NHL cancer like me- she died from it.  Knowing health information at a young age I thought I could persuade her to live a more healthy life style ; all she eats is the usual kid carbs.  Lol right, a 10 year old is still going to eat junk food; I want her to at least eat less. For now I told her we can look into it when she’s older; this won’t hold out for too Long.[/quote]

What is the "cool" part? The ancestry part?  It depends on what race/ethnicity your daughter is.  I'm a Korean adoptee.  If you research it, you'll find that almost all Koreans are a mix of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese because of ancient migration patterns, fluid borders, and invasions.  Now that I know that, I see that I didn't need 23 and Me to tell me that- all I needed to do was a little bit of research![/quote]
