Lack of communication from my BF has been disheartening but the conflicting nature of his communication is very confusing. I guess he’s processing but not sure what to make of it all. Here is the communication from him since I received his first email on 4/8/25 4/8/25 – “Dawn, I recently received your letter and…

I am still struggling with having a biological father that I have no idea who he is. What is he like? What are his likes/dislikes? Is he nice or a jerk? Is he tall or short? What is his hair like? Is it dark, light, curly, straight?? Does he have blue or brown eyes? Is…

I spent the next several days crying and honestly still in disbelief and numb. Surely, she’s wrong. I began researching the accuracy of the DNA. I kept questioning my search angel about the accuracy. She finally said to me, DNA doesn’t lie. I then became angry; angry at everyone. Angry at God. Why in the…

Six weeks later, I got my results. As I scanned through the paternal matches, not a single Loewenstine. Many names I didn’t recognize but my grandma had 11 siblings I was sure these were her sisters kids and grandkids. I didn’t care about them. I already knew so much about the Stevens family and I…

I was always into genealogy as long as I can remember. In 1984 at just 11 years old, I remember going to my great grandma Lanning’s 90th birthday celebration and sitting with my grandma Zink and her brother, Uncle Don, with my notebook and asking them tons of questions.
