Woman raised as only child finds she has 29 siblings through DNA test

Shauna Harrison first took a 23andMe DNA test after learning as a 27 year old that the man she grew up thinking was her father was not her biological dad.Fourteen years later, she returned to the site eager to see what she could find out about her family given advancements in DNA science and took another test. The next day she got an email.It was. The family keeps growing and now Harrison is one of 30 siblings.

While not every new sibling is keen to be part of the extended family, others keep in touch via a Facebook page that includes a spreadsheet to keep track of birthdays and a welcome packet for new family members.“It’s just nice to have someone else that is in sort of the same place and you have a lot of the same history,” Hale told ABC News. “It’s fun.”

Harrison thinks the discovery of new siblings is “going to continually happen” for the rest of her life.

Wow !!

anybody there can write a story. are they half -siblings? because of sperm donation? still an only child

That’s exactly why I won’t take the test.
