  • My Mom Left My Birth Father In Mexico
    2024/09/11

    This week Chris & Jay welcome Lizett Armstrong who shares the emotional journey of discovering her biological father’s identity after years of uncertainty. Born in Tijuana and raised in the United States without knowledge of her father, Lizett’s quest begins with fragmented clues and a baptismal certificate. Her mother's reluctance to divulge information fueled Lizett’s determination to learn more. With the help of Jay Rosenzweig and genealogical advances in DNA testing, Lizett overcomes significant challenges posed by cross-border searches and common last names. The breakthrough arrives when a DNA test not only confirms her father’s identity but also connects her with relatives who knew him. This episode captures the complexities of Lizett's search, the poignant discovery of her father’s past, and her emotional reunion with a family she never knew she had, all intertwined with themes of identity, family bonds, and closure.

  • My Birth Father Never Kept Me A Secret
    2024/08/28

    This week we discuss the case of David Durbin, a 53-year-old man who embarked on a journey to uncover his biological origins. Born in 1969 and adopted at birth, David had minimal information about his birth parents. With Jay's expertise and the strategic use of the California Birth Index, they discovered his birth name was David Anderson, and his mother's uncommon last name, Capps, led them to uncover her unfortunate early demise due to an overdose. Through Ancestry.com, David connected to his maternal side and, despite the challenges, made significant headway on his paternal side, eventually reconnecting with his biological father, Charles Anderson, who was living back east. This episode captures the intricate search and emotional reunion, exploring the complex interplay of genetics, ancestry, and the profound impact of reuniting with biological relatives later in life.
