[quote=Anonymous]I’m adopted on one side, and for me the desire to know the genetic history on that side is outweighed by my desire for privacy (both from companies having my genetic info and from biological relatives who might try to contact me). My own kids were all offered free full genome sequencing as part of a study, which I declined despite the offer of compensation because I was not comfortable making that decision for them. We don’t know what kind of genetic privacy protections will be in place when our children are adults nor what kind of computer hacks may release this info to the world. The chance that you will find something that is relevant to her as an adolescent is low. Maybe you could plan to offer to pay for this as a gift at some point after she turns 18 if she wants to.
