Over the past 30 years, Lezlee Liljenberg knew something wasn’t right about the story of her past. In 2020 her DNA test sparked even more uncertainty about her heritage.
Lezlee spent several years asking all the right questions of her family and friends, to no avail. Then in 2020, her brother encouraged her to take the 23andMe test. The results turned her life in a totally new, exciting and topsy-turvy direction. A year later, she discovered the identity of her biological family and has taken numerous steps to meet them. Besides suffering disappointment and pain, she has encountered love and acceptance that helps overcome the hurt.
Lezlee is sharing her DNA story about love, loss, pain and pursuit of the truth to help others know that they are not alone. Her story is not an unusual one as the community of the “Non-Parent Expected” grows exponentially every year.
