Have you/ What would you do if you: used ancestry dna testing and found out the family you knew was a lie?

The family I know "IS" my family regardless of where we came from. If you have lived a truth, why would it matter that the origin was a lie?
@OwnerOfMany i agree with that... i've had to cut certain people out of my life for the sake of my own health. These people are "family" based on blood line - though i'm much better and happier with the family that i have chosen for myself and i've been clear that i don't plan on going back there through my own choice in the matter.

@OwnerOfMany You have a phenomenal outlook. Thank you for sharing that.

@LETICIA Thank you, and you are welcome.
If i wanted to give my DNA to the police, i would just cut out the middle man and commit a crime!!!

@HootyTheNightOwl Lmbo. They've had mine for years, I'm sure. I worked for the census bureau decades ago. That made me a "government official." They take your fingerprints & all that. Later, signed up for medical case studies in college. (Smh@ my younger self.) And I've never committed a crime besides speeding anyways. So, hakuna matata for me, I guess!

I doubt it would concern me

Haven't done any ancestry tests. Don't intend to send me DNA off to companies like that until I feel confident enough in their handling of the data.

If I did though and that situation arose it wouldn't matter much to me. Sure, there'd be a few questions, like why I wasn't told earlier and such, but at the end of the day my family has raised me in a way that has never made me doubt that I was their own. That's good enough for me.

@PirateMonkeyCabinet oh, I have no doubt they're doing EVERY CONSPIRACY THEORY ever imagined, plus a few we might have missed.

@LETICIA Maybe, wouldn't surprise me, but honestly I don't know. I've just gone the precautionary route for the time being. Still a fairly "young" market so I'll keep an eye on how it matures first.
