Resources

I’ve found the following resources helpful in my journey:

A wonderful group of people who know EXACTLY what you are going through set up a non-profit to help.  They also started a secret Facebook group that has been very supportive.

There have been several articles in the press about others’ NPE discoveries and journeys that I find helpful and have made me feel less alone. This is the first article I read that made me realize I wasn’t the only one going through this.

An NPE advocate has written a nice blog post to help family and friends understand our experience and included some wonderful media links as well.  The rest of the Watershed DNA site has many stories that have also been helpful.   

Article   in which Elizabeth Wurtzel talks about her relationship with the man she would later find out was her biological father.

I’ve subscribed to this podcast, which tells NPE and Adoption stories from all perspectives.

Time article in which the author and novelist Dani Shapiro tells her story about finding out that her biological father was actually a sperm donor. She has written a book about her experience that is a must-read for anyone impacted by an unexpected DNA discovery.
