Nearly 30 people learn they're siblings fathered by same sperm donor
2019-04-05
[FOX] A San Francisco Bay Area woman who was raised as a single child said that within two years she went from learning her dad wasn’t her biological father to finding out she has nearly 30 siblings -- linked by the same sperm donor.

Shauna Harrison, who has a Ph.D. in public health, said she wanted to try the ancestry website 23andMe to find out if she was susceptible to any illnesses. But soon after discovering the identity of her biological father ‐ a Jewish man of Russian descent who lived in the Bay Area ‐ people began contacting her to say they were related, she said.

"Boom! Next day I get an email from one of the siblings. ’Looks like we are related. Not sure if that’s a surprise to you,’" Harrison told KGO-TV.

#5  I believe all birth documents should not be considered 'legal' until dna validates the sperm donor.

#2  before doing that dna swab thing, be damn sure you can live with the answers.
The lovely Mrs.Ret. found a half sister: evidently Dear Old Dad was doing more than just building maintenance at Weyerhauser.
And as a no cost bonus a second ( maybe first) cousin showed up, an African-American man. and Mrs. Ret. is 99% scotch.
mom in law is fit to be tied.

#1  Something struck me long ago: Imagine, a la the film "Lone Star," that you find out after the fact that you've been involved with, or even married, your sibling due to a prolific sperm donor.
