The man who brought me up was not my biological father. He was the most generous, kind, wise, loving man, and it was a privilege to have been raised by him. Sperm does not make a Dad.
A friend of mine found out her father wasn't her father. She found out he was a bronco rider and traveled the country going to rodeos. He apparently left a lot of pregnant women in his wake because so far, she has found 7 half-siblings...
The most important thing in life is unconditional love. I honor the man who was a man not a child who raised you. What a lovely and loving human being.
At least he could meet his 4 remaining uncles and if they, unlike John, do have children, also his cousins. So it won't end as depressing as here depicted.
Sometimes I think DNA info destroys peoples perception of who they are, where they come from in a destructive manner. He was happy with the sister & Dad he knew growing-up.
This is the sad side of DNA testing, although this man does have a few confirmed relatives to work with. In my case, it was not about the identity of my parents or grandparents or anything like that. It was about medical information. My paternal grandmother shared very little about her family background during her lifetime. As it turned out, a few years ago I was diagnosed with a degenerative vision disorder called retinitis pigmentosa. Through my own research and DNA testing, I found it likely it came from her family, and she likely knew about it. I was pretty upset as I felt the withholding of that information was detrimental to me. If I had known that disorder was in the family, I would have been seeing an opthalmologist and not just an optometrist all these years. FOLKS, SHARE THAT MEDICAL INFORMATION - IT IS IMPORTANT.
But that perception is a false one based on lies and secrets. There would be no destruction if there has been no concealment of the truth in the first place.
I found out 2 years ago that I had a biological father..I think the responsible thing to do from a health persepctive is to tell people their heritage, both my Dad and BF are still alive and in their 70's but my BF has had health issues which I;ve inherited and they were long overlooked....it;s almost negligent to not tell people their DNA background as far as Im concerned.
Better off not knowing.... my father was a violent wife/child beating drunkard who abused us week in/week out, mental and physical torturer.. looking back I would have gone into care.... would rather of had no father
But It's not like that for everyone... I'm sorry you had to go thru that. I know the feeling of thinking that you would have been better off without a father.
We celebrated when our father finally left our mother. It took many years for me to overcome the PTSD, emotional torment and heightened anxiety that my father gifted me from my childhood. I was also left with an intense burning anger toward him, even after his death. About 2 years ago I was finally able to forgive him and even pity him for who he had been in life. I’m free from the anger, thank God!
I watched a few of these and none have ended up really good. I mean the folks find out some information but either parent is dead or remaining Bio Family don't want contact...
@@ProfessorTuriKing Thank you for providing more of the story. Many people don't understand DNA and what can be found from it. Ethnicity, family, even religion, the Christians and Muslims in the Middle East have different profiles.
That doesn't matter. We are entitled to know who created us, it's a question humans have asked themselves for hundreds of years, it's only natural for people to want to see themselves reflected in their family, to feel connected to a past. For people who need to find that connection, simply thinking the way you do doesn't change anything, they will still lay awake at night and wonder who they are.
I was married and had a son, the marriage ended in divorce and I eventually remarried and my son started calling him dad. My husband adopted my son and how my son puts it is, his biological is his father because he fathered him and my husband is his dad because he raised him and taught him to be a man, he has been there for him since he came into our lives. There is a huge difference between being a dad and a father. No one forced my son to call him dad he did it all on his own.
@@PamsPlace-m8q The father took care of the daughter when the mother disappeared herself. She showed up later with the stepfather. I don't blame the father for being disappointed with the daughter or her decision. He should disappear himself from the dumb daughter
@user-xh5xj7bz6x her father should walk her down the aisle , not the stepfather. The mom was a pos that disappeared and the father was the one that stepped up as a loving parent. I don't think you make any sense
I guess I liked this; well not enough to press the dislike button. I think you needed to finish this with the whole episode. Is the other man related to him at all? If not why was the other man there, and what did you tell him?
This is an excerpt from the BBC television programme, DNA Family Secrets. You can hear more about Richard’s story here: ruclips.net/video/_A6i-GWtPpI/видео.html
So he finds out his sister is a half sibling because of nosey man who can’t leave well enough alone only to find out his bio dads been dead for decades
On my mom’s 70th birthday, the morning of, I got her DNA results and so at her birthday party I told her that she was not the daughter of the father she had known her entire life until he died in her arms. And for five additional years I was able to solve most of the questions about her mystery father. Unfortunately she died (RIP) before I could tell her his name.
It's sometimes because it's been hard without technology. Today it's a lot easier than it was say 20-30 years ago... Especially with Ancestry coming up with their DNA research. The other is due to being afraid of the search.
Because the family the person is missing might be the only link with sanity that the person has. Then they become too scared of being rejected by their biological family. That was my case. I was too afraid of contacting my Father’s family because of the lifestyle that my Mother was living when I was conceived. I’m being rejected by most of my Father’s family who are Boston Irish. I was conceived during a Sex for Hire event in Chicago by a man who never knew I existed. To top it off I’m 35% Indigenous North American and I’m guessing that’s not acceptable to lots of my American Cousins.
Because it takes some people a long time to process the fact and they only look when they're ready, or they don't discover that something's amiss until late in life.
In the past such investigations were a closed door... there was very little in the way of support for this discovery, institutions were told not to entertain people. Now with the internet and DNA testing it is all opening up slowly over the last 10 years.
With respect you really ought to commit to doing a bit more in depth research for the person. A 5 minute video that comes up with nothing...is well...a waste of time, respectfully.

Wow. What a Casanova
Wow! Busy boy!
How come we call roving males casanova and roving females by a rude name.

If John was born in 1946 and died in 1988, he was 42 when he died, not "in his 50s".

Still his sister and dad, that does not change.

Are you suggesting that "ignorance is bliss" & "what you don't know can't hurt you".
On what data do you base that opinion?
I found out 2 years ago that I had a biological father..I think the responsible thing to do from a health persepctive is to tell people their heritage, both my Dad and BF are still alive and in their 70's but my BF has had health issues which I;ve inherited and they were long overlooked....it;s almost negligent to not tell people their DNA background as far as Im concerned.

I’m saddened for you and the violent childhood you experienced. I pray that you have found peace. God bless you.
If that John was born in 1946 and died in 1988, he was only 42. He did not die in his 50s like she said. 🤷🏼
Mum has some explaining to do...
I watched a few of these and none have ended up really good. I mean the folks find out some information but either parent is dead or remaining Bio Family don't want contact...
I think that is because a lot of these people have waited until they were much older to reach out.
It seemed like he may have met another good man, to have as a friend, even if they aren't DNA linked.
Turi's door makes me think of the Tardis.😍🤩
What about testing the other 4 brothers, or their children, ruling out the other brothers??

1 in 50 that’s only 2% I think the per DNA test era we thought it was close to 10%
I bet Richard is quite good looking under that heavy beard.
They should have therapist on site to make sense of this.
We do. We have an entire team including therapist and social workers.
The man who raised you is your father. He loved and took care of you

Love the ones your with.
Yah that's a song too.
So, where is the second part of this show? He was supposed to go back to the other gal after hearing this terrible news.
They draw it out it's a slow show
Amazing
Sorry about your huge disappointment!
His father is the milkman seen him entering the house 😂😂😂a quickie

Why would anyone wast that
Can't his remains be tested? Or was he incinerated?
Expensive

Why do people wait years before they look into their family backround
It's sometimes because it's been hard without technology. Today it's a lot easier than it was say 20-30 years ago... Especially with Ancestry coming up with their DNA research. The other is due to being afraid of the search.
No computers or internet.
Because the family the person is missing might be the only link with sanity that the person has. Then they become too scared of being rejected by their biological family.
