A found cousin
By: Boeun Date: June 30, 2020, 10:25 pm

So I am adopted. A while back I did a dna test on ancestry.com
and uploaded my results. There weren't really any matches.
But yesterday someone reached out to me and we are linked as
cousins. He was adopted too, so new insights about my biological
family, but it was nice chatting with someone that is
biologically linked to me, besides my daughter.
Sorry I am so excited and wanted to share. Continue on.

Congratulations!
You two may want to upload your DNA results to gedmatch.com.
It's a free genealogy site that accepts uploads from all major
dna companies. You may have some more matches there.

I joined a Korean adoptee site on Facebook. You can actually
upload your dna there. It's all very exciting. I really just
assumed I would never really know anything about my biological
family.
My my husband's extended family on both sides is very extensive
and he at least has met second cousins
When my daughter was born it is when I started to wonder
things. Like with my daughter my husband can be like oh well the
nose is from my side of the family because we have a history of
noses like that. I don't have that and that's when I really
started to wonder. Yes he's a cousin and doesn't know a lot
about our family, it's nice to know there's someone else I know
in the world I have a biological link too.

That's really wonderful Boeun!
Congratulations. Does he live anywhere near you?
I am sure he was so pleased to know about you, also.

"it's nice to know there's someone else I know in the world I

That's heartwarming. I hope the two of you stay in touch

He lives in Australia! But we did learn something useful. He
found his half sister and since she doesn't show up as linked to
me on the site, we're not related on that side. Unfortunately we
don't know from what side any of us are related to.
