Message in a Bottle: A Discussion on DNA Testing in Adoption

In contrast to the majority of the population, most adoptees do not have access to their biological family histories. With the rise in popularity and affordability of DNA testing services, a growing number of adoptees are choosing genetic testing for personal and medical information.

Join the AFHK community for a panel discussion on this exciting topic. Our panelists will include genetic counsellor Sarah Wynn, who will provide some introductory information about DNA testing, and others who will share their personal experiences with genetic testing, including their motivations and considerations in choosing genetic testing, as well as their satisfaction with the results of the testing.

This event is open to all parents and caregivers, waiting and prospective parents, adult adoptees, professionals and students.
