Woman Discovers She’s Not the BioIogicaI Mother of Her Three ChiIdren — A Life-AItering ReveIation
Woman Learns She’s Not Biologically Linked to Her Kids Due to Rare Condition
Amanda Warren faced heartbreak when DNA tests revealed her three children did not match her DNA. Her ex-husband, Paul, used the results in court to claim full custody, accusing Amanda of using illegal means to have children. However, an unexpected discovery about a rare medical condition changed everything.
Paul’s claims shocked Amanda, as she had carried and given birth to her children. “I labored for hours to bring them into the world,” she stated. After losing custody due to DNA evidence, her lawyer suggested investigating chimerism, a condition where one person has two sets of DNA.
Specialist Dr. Zack Goldman confirmed Amanda absorbed a twin in utero, explaining, “DNA from her cervical region matches the children, though her hair and skin DNA do not.” This rare condition caused confusion in earlier tests.
With medical evidence supporting Amanda’s case, her legal team argued for custody. “Mrs. Warren carries both her twin’s and her own DNA,” her lawyer explained, proving her biological connection to her children. The discovery restored Amanda’s hope in reuniting with her family.
