DNA Kit Connects Texas Woman with Her Pennsylvania Family
Sally Catherine Armstrong from Texas was able to connect with her birth family in Pennsylvania using the DNA kit 23andMe, writes Cassandra Jaramillo for the Dallas News.
Armstrong is adopted, and always wondered about her biological parents. But without any hospital records, there was little she could do. She just knew she had been abandoned in a Virginia hospital bathroom shortly after birth.
She finally got the answer using the DNA kit 23andMe. After sending it off for analysis, she learned in May that she has a sibling in Pennsylvania.
She then received a message from her half-sister, Sterling Crawford, and within hours, they were talking on the phone. That’s when Armstrong discovered she has three more half-siblings, all from the same mother.
“I woke up this morning an only child,” thought Armstrong that day. “Now, I’m the second youngest of five.”
Armstrong decided she had to meet them, and was on the plane with her husband within two weeks.
When she met her two brothers and two sisters, it was obvious they were all related as they clicked immediately.
“I love these people so much, and I just met them,” said Armstrong.
