DNA test to reunite brothers separated by adoption
Two brothers met for the first time after spending more than 50 years apart. Rob Weissberg and George Legeros had no idea that the other existed until Rob’s wife started an Internet search. Rob knew that he had been adopted and that he had a biological sister, but he did not know anything about a brother.
Earlier this month, the two men were reunited in Richboro, Pennsylvania. As they talked, Rob learned that his biological mother had been poor and unwed when she gave birth and chose to place Rob into adoption.
The two men are confident that they are biologically related (George says Rob’s nose proves they have the same father), but they have chosen to undergo DNA siblingship testing to confirm their relationship.
Beta Genetics offers both full- and half-siblingship DNA tests that can identify the likelihood that two people are related to one or both parents. Samples are collected through painless buccal swabs, and results are typically ready within 14 days.
