April

Second born, we can kind of chalk that up to like, okay, there's some genes in there that are going further back. Like it happens.

I thought about all this growing up. There's also the fact that my sisters are all very rambunctious. They love to dance, very social. I was like the anti-social child. Monica, I love to read Harry Potter, kind of off in my corner, very introverted. So just felt very different.

And then tack onto that throughout our childhood, we would go out to eat at restaurants or even in school, people would ask us how we were related. We had the same last name, obviously they knew we were. When we said sisters, everybody often asked, Are we full blood sisters? This is mid late 90s, early 2000s. So that sort of got me questioning. I do feel different. What's going on here?

So I did ask my parents a couple of times. Is there something I need to know? Was always told no. I asked my grandparents. I was always told there was nothing more I needed to know. But I never let this go as a topic. So the running joke in my family to me was that I was the milkman's baby.

Good. You guys have heard the phrase. So fast forward, I've asked this question to my mom, even into my adulthood.

Right. And there's something fun about the mystery of it all. But same answer every time. I have two children. Shout out to Brody and Brynn, their little arm cherries in the making. Oh, we love that. I'm looking at both of them and I'm like, they really look like me and my husband. And they really look like each other.

Biologically speaking, now I can look at my dad and my mom and say, something's not adding up here. So I decide at 30, I'm going to take a DNA test. I don't tell anyone. I get the DNA test. I take it. It comes back several weeks later and there's nothing earth shattering. I get some third, fourth cousins, but there is one person who comes up. He's a first cousin and I don't recognize the name.

So I messaged the guy and he responds back a couple of days later and he tells me that he's actually adopted. Oh, that's confusing. Not a lot to go on.
