I believe all people have the right to know their genetic family history. This is a special service package for adoptees or people with “Not Parent Expected”/”Non-paternal events”. Whether you have non-identifying info or not, I can help you discover your birth parents using your DNA. This service is intended for people born in Canada or the United States.

If you have recently learned that your parent(s) adopted you, or that the man you believed to be your father isn’t (at least biologically) please know that many people out there have similar stories. It is far more common than most people think! I myself met my biological father for the first time when I was in my 30s. My personal story is part of why I began doing this type of service professionally.

Perhaps you have already taken an autosomal DNA test to help you find your father and/or mother. The lists of DNA matches can be very overwhelming, and the genealogy research skills needed to build family trees for the most important matches, and piece together how you are related to those DNA matches can take years to acquire. As a professional genealogist with over 25 years of experience, I can help you discover your biological family.

This service can be for you to find a birth parent or birth parents, or to find birth parents for your biological parent or grandparent. The person who has the unknown parent(s) must be within 2 generations of the DNA test taker (ie, you are adopted and you took the DNA test, this is the ideal situation, but it could also be that you took the DNA test but it was your parent or grandparent who was adopted but can’t be DNA tested directly). If you are looking into an unknown parent further back than 2 generations from the test taker, please see my Research Packages or Contact Me.

It is impossible to predict how many research hours will be required to solve a birth parent or birth parent’s identity. I have solved cases as soon as 3 hours but also have had some take months. I am confident that I can solve your question in a short time, so I offer this package. I will work on your case for a minimum of 15 hours in the initial week (or the first week after your DNA results are ready), and then at least 5 hours a week until it is solved.

I have access to many subscription online databases and have worked extensively with matches at AncestryDNA, FTDNA, MyHeritage DNA, and 23andMe. As I work on your case, I will be contacting you by e-mail with updates. If needed, I will help with transferring your DNA to the other sites so you gain more matches.

If you haven’t ordered your DNA kit(s) yet, I can guide you through the process and recommend the best test(s) for your situation, and we can wait for the results together!

I look forward to working with you on solving your case!
