The DNA Test That Unraveled a Family—and Revealed the Truth About Loyalty
“For you,” I said. “To find out if your father is really your father.”
The Truth Comes in Envelopes
We took our son’s sample quickly. For Adam’s, we waited. We invited his parents over for dinner. His mother, Denise, arrived with a fruit pie. His father smiled, unaware.
Adam handed his dad a new eco-friendly toothbrush, saying it was a sample from work. The test was done and mailed the next day.
Weeks passed. Our son turned one. We hosted a small party with cupcakes and balloons. For a few moments, it felt like a normal life.
And then, I brought out the envelope.
“Since there were questions,” I said, handing it over.
Denise leaned forward, almost eager.
Her expression faltered. That moment of smug anticipation turned into stunned silence.
But it wasn’t over.
Adam pulled out a second envelope. “And while we were testing…”
He turned to his father. “You’re not my biological dad.”
The room fell completely silent.
