I was eager to explore my lineage. Would I discover a Native American heritage? Was I royalty? Was I related to Lucille Ball? Carol Burnett? Anything seemed possible!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat I discovered was that my father-who raised me, walked me down the aisle, sang with me at the piano, and whom I adored-was not my biological father at all. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am an NPE (Not Parent Expected) or MPE (Mis-attributed Parental Event) person. As much as 30% of the world may share this identity. Thanks to recreational DNA testing, the secrets and lies are exposed, with numbers increasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Ancestry Discoveries, I tell the story of the discovery and the unraveling of truths thereafter but explore the plight of the NPE person, hoping my story might serve as someone else's survival guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shock and scandal of the discovery are only the first step in a life of readjustment-for me, and for many like me. My life felt like a lie until I made it true. The search for connection led me on an adventure of discovery to places I never thought I would go. Seeing this new world with a new set of lenses fostered personal growth and breakthroughs. The choice was plain: I could choose to be a victim or an adventurer. I chose the latter. There were connections to be made, disconnections to endure, and reconnections to explore. The most profound connection I made was to myself. What Happens Under the Sheets Doesn't Stay There, and I am proof of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4581959\"\u003eAnnette L.
