Through a DNA Test, I Found My Brother, Who Holds Memories of a Life I Never Experienced

A DNA test changed my life. I’m Billy, and until a few days ago, I thought I was living the perfect life as an only child. But after taking an ancestry test, I discovered I had a brother named Daniel.

Confused, I confronted my dad, who revealed he’d had an affair years ago, but asked me not to tell my mom. Still seeking answers, I contacted Daniel, and we met. He revealed we were once siblings, separated after a fire that killed our parents. The truth hit hard: I was adopted by my parents, who had covered up the tragedy to avoid a lawsuit. Devastated, I confronted my dad and left home, eventually finding solace with Daniel. Though my life had been a lie, I was finally reunited with my real family.
