Dorothy took a DNA genetic assay as a joke, looking for distant relatives, only to be told she had a daughter, even though she had never been pregnant.
Dorothy Weaver had never felt lonely until she lost her husband, Tom, at 57. Both were human rights attorneys, passionately involved in their work. They met in college and spent thirty-five years together, often postponing having children for their causes. When they finally decided to adopt, Tom passed away suddenly, leaving Dorothy devastated.
To cope with her grief, Dorothy immersed herself in work until she collapsed. Post-recovery, she started teaching at a law school. One night, inspired by a TV show about DNA testing, she decided to trace her roots. The results revealed she had a daughter, Michelle, though Dorothy had never given birth. The company suggested the possibility of an identical twin. This revelation led Dorothy to meet Michelle and eventually, her twin sister, Susan, reuniting them and filling Dorothy’s life with family and love.
