Father-Daughter Reunion Facilitated by a MyHeritage DNA Test and the Today Show

There was a great segment on Megan Kelly’s Today Show that genealogists have got to see. When you take a DNA test, you never know what may come of it!

Sarah, from Fort Wayne, Indiana (now living in the Netherlands) was placed in adoptive care as young child by her mother. To try and find her biological family, she took a MyHeritage DNA test that her husband purchased for her. She was shocked when she got a match to her biological father, Arland (who lives in Texas), who didn’t even know she existed.

Sarah and Arland then spoke on the phone numerous times, but today was the first time they met – on the set of NBC’s Today Show.

Watch their emotional reunion which just aired: https://youtu.be/nkUt3XupQdU
