A found cousin |

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. |

|
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. |
