Old Lady Who Never Had Kids Takes DNA Test Which Reveals She Has a Daughter — Story of the Day
Dorothy’s DNA Discovery
Dorothy Weaver took a DNA genetic test as a joke, only to find out she had a daughter, though she had never been pregnant. Dorothy, who lost her husband Tom at 57, had always focused on her career as a human rights attorney. After Tom’s sudden death, Dorothy threw herself into work to escape her loneliness.
Surprising Results
Inspired by a late-night talk show, Dorothy sent in her DNA for testing. The results showed a 33-year-old daughter, Michelle Simpson. Skeptical, Dorothy contacted the DNA company, which suggested she might have an identical twin. Raised in foster care, Dorothy had no knowledge of this twin.
Reunion
Dorothy reached out to Michelle, and they met. Michelle was shocked by Dorothy’s resemblance to her mother, Susan, who was adopted. Initially fearful, Susan eventually met Dorothy. The two identical sisters reunited, discovering their shared feelings of incompleteness.
New Family
Susan and Dorothy bonded over their similar lives. Dorothy, once believing she would be alone forever, found family in Susan, Michelle, and Michelle’s children. The sisters moved in together, and Dorothy embraced her new role as an aunt and grandmother, finally filling the void in her heart.
