by Molly Corrigan
With the popularity of consumer DNA tests like Ancestry and 23andMe, more men are finding out they have offspring they never knew existed. These discoveries are emotional and complex, especially when the newfound biological father has a wife and family to consider. The impact on their wives can be particularly profound. Yet they are often left out of the media narrative about search and reunion. This podcast focuses on their experiences.
