An Emotional Reunion between mother and daughter from MyHeritage


MyHeritage.com has shared an emotional reunion between a mother and a daughter who met for the first time on Good Morning America. This all came about as a result of the DNA test from MyHeritage.com. Quoting from MyHeritage,
Angie was a teenage mother who placed her baby Meribeth for adoption in 1986. She never got to hold Meribeth after she gave birth to her, and she always hoped that she was adopted by a loving family. For thirty years, they both wondered about one another. MyHeritage DNA enabled Meribeth and Angie to finally find one another.

This is a remarkable illustration of the power of genealogically related DNA testing when coupled with a huge collection of online family trees.
