We’ve written about Neil Schwartzman and Jolie Pearl, brother and sister who found one another through 23andMe, but we never tire of their story. CBS This Morning aired a piece about DNA testing featuring the pair and how Neil, who was adopted a few days after he was born, found not just his sister, but his mother, his father and a half-brother through 23andMe.

Hey! I also found my father, too!
I experienced normal teenage angst about who I was. As a “collected” child, my experience was deepened by not having a mirroring face of familiarity. When I saw a picture of my biological father I was stunned to recognize myself for the first time. I only have a photo. I don’t know him or where he is. I hope to learn more about my deepest self in this process.
I have a half sister (on my father’s side) that I have never been able to find.
Maybe I’ll get lucky and find her here?
Very interesting! I am glad that the family found one another. This is a great source.
