Stunningly beautiful essay by @jaxbkjax on searching for her mom and discovering family. "The blankness of her engulfed and bewildered me. I looked for her in every woman I saw and wondered what I’d done to make her leave."

I'll never forget @connie_walker telling me how her in the late 1970s, her father, then a policeman, pulled over a man for driving erratically. It turns out he knew the man. He was a Catholic priest who had abused him at a residential school for indigenous children.

The first large study looking at the psychological ramifications of DNA testing surprises - specifically NPEs - including "increased levels of depression, anxiety, and panic symptoms." Plus, what protects people. https://t.co/xwZlsRSxGv

Discussion of #DNA tests & support needed on @BBCr4today - interesting discussions echoing a lot of the themes in my #RootsTech2023 talks. Do people really know the impact results could have on their lives and families? @libbycopeland’s excellent book gives much food for thought.
