DNA tells a story – What if that story isn’t what you always believed?
THE RESULTS ARE IN
“Do a DNA Test”, they said. “It will be fun!” If you are like the many others jumping on the DNA train to learn what your ethnicity is, search out a few Ancestors, and have received life altering results, you’ve come to the right place. Our Volunteers are experts in Genetic Genealogy and are here to assist you in finding your truth.
Searching For Unknown Biological Family
Those unexpected results can turn your world and all you’ve ever known, upside down and inside out. Why, because you are having an identity crisis and others just don’t understand. You’ve probably heard things like, “You had a dad who loved you.” or “This doesn’t change who you are.” Oh, but in a sense, it does because It has changed what you believed to be true.
DNA Investigative Angels are here for YOU, and we understand because each of us, in our own unique way, have been where you are now.
Searching for your biological family can be overwhelming. Learning what Centimorgans (cM’s) are and what they mean in regard to potential relationships and mapping DNA, is like speaking a foreign language. Studying new surnames of potential ancestors, using genealogical research and searching out the proof that the records you found are indeed of the ancestors you are looking for can be exhausting! Phew! Take a deep breath! We are here to help.
MISSION STATEMENT
DNA Investigative Angels (DIA) exists primarily to assist those who have received unexpected DNA results for one or both parents. This has come to be known as a Non Paternal Event (NPE) or Misattributed Parental Event (MPE)
Our Angels are NPE or have had a loved one affected by this discovery. We believe that having lived through this trauma, we are better equipped to understand the emotional roller coaster our client’s are on. We worked through this most difficult process and became ready to assist others with their search for their biological family.
Through our understanding and appreciation for Genetic Genealogy we volunteer our time, skills and resources. We help others discover their truth and support them as them come to terms with this discovery.
We believe that each person has a right to know where their genetic truth and where they came from. Our goal is to provide the missing link which brought you to seek the assistance of our organization.
VALUE STATMENT
DNA Investigative Angels (DIA) highly values Truth, Honesty and Transparency.
Our aim is to discover Your Truth.
However, along the way we sometimes discover other NPE’s in your match list. Most often we do not reveal these findings to others as that is Their Truth and until they seek assistance for themselves, we respect their privacy.
We will always be Honest and Transparent in our findings, even when those discoveries are unpleasant. In these cases, we offer the support of our Emotional Support Angel who can help you sort through these situations and point you in the right direction for more extensive healing.
Our Integrity drives us to see your search through as far as it can be taken with the information we have before us. We may ask another Angel within our organization to take a “Fly Over” view of our work if we need a 2nd pair of eyes.
However, we will never breech Confidentiality outside of our organization. We value Confidentiality above all. What happens within DIA, stays within DIA and we will not reveal your story outside our group.
Occasionally we are unable to complete a search and must pause it until more information becomes available.
In the meantime, we encourage your participation within the group. So please feel free to share with your fellow NPE’s whenever you feel comfortable. In doing so you assist others in their healing process as well as your own.
