My Bio Family: Confirming the Maternal-Line via AncestryDNA

My Bio Family: Confirming the Maternal-Line via AncestryDNA

AncestryDNA made a liar out of me last night by processing my autosomal DNA results much faster than they quoted. I struck gold last night with my top two AncestryDNA matches, providing DNA confirmation of a maternal-line connection to my Bio Mom Candidate.

Finding My Bio Family, a Waiting Game

Finding My Bio Family, a Waiting Game

The next step in my search for my biological parents was making contact with my leading birth mom candidate, and sending off my autosomal DNA test sample to AncestryDNA. No results from either approach yet. Needless to say, I have been checking my Facebook Messages and my AncestryDNA test status multiple times daily.
