DNA Test Thoughts

I'm thinking about getting one of those tests. There are different kinds of DNA test. This test is to figure out ancestry. I'm still on the fence about the standard DNA test. The one that would tell me for sure that SinginInTheRain is my father and NeverTooLate is my mother. Looking at pictures and seeing us together makes it seem like there shouldn't be any doubt. But I guess I can't be 100% sure unless I take a test. I just don't know if there's enough doubt to risk offending SinginInTheRain by asking about one.

Back to the point, I'm thinking about getting a DNA test that analyses genes to trace back to what part of the world your ancestors come from. It might be able to tell me where in Europe my ancestors come from. For some adoptees, that's the only option they have for getting answers. It won't tell you where exactly your family is from. And it's a lot easier if you are a guy. These are things that I learned when I started looking into DNA testing. But its still something. And for adoptees that really know nothing, it's a start. Its sort of an answer to the question "Where do I come from?" You might be wondering why I would need this if I've found my first parents.

I don't trust the information that was given to me. I've uncovered a few lies so far. SinginInTheRain told me his family was from the mainland. One of his grandparent's was, but the rest were from the islands. So most of my ancestors came from the islands (don’t get me wrong, the people on the islands came from the mainland but still). He also only reported that he was French, and left out the English part of it. But NeverTooLate told me he had a little bit of English in his blood. So someone isn't telling me the whole truth. Maybe a DNA test would help that….

Has anyone taken this test? Would you recommend it?
