I suppose DNA testing is a good thing, but you can learn things you don't want to know, as in your case. Probably the testing was somewhat iffy in your situation, as DNA testing was a fairly new thing then, wasn't it? Interesting that you used subterfuge to try to get the results. I don't think I'd have tried that. I wonder how many people do such a thing. Interesting, but rather scary to think that test results can be so slow in coming and then not what you expect. judi

It was a week from hell waiting between the scary possibility and the good news from the second lab. I got through it by watching the comedy movie "This is Spinal Tap" around the clock! Thanks for stopping by. Cheers. LIZ

I am unsure how to feel. Your account is emotional and suspenseful. But it's your life and true thus I feel ashamed to be feeling as if I am reading a story. I feel like this account could be expanded into more, if you wanted to. Thank you for sharing.

This is true!

Point taken--I'm writing thirty-five years after the fact, thus my emotions are muted--I totally get what you mean by it seeming a story about someone else. Thanks for weighing in! Cheers. LIZ

Wow. Just wow. SAB. Jewish descendant here. So glad your offspring flourished past infancy. We don't want to talk about the MS, non hereditary, environmental caused disease, do we? Ugh. So much is left untold. (I heard the truth is out there with Molder and Skully music for a minute).

Wow, what a run around you experienced to get tested. Then to finally get the results would have been devastating. But as you said at the end, your parents did not know of this and proceeded to have you and your sister. Both of you and your parents had a guardian angel looking out for all. Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
