A woman accidentally discovered that she was one of three babies switched at birth 28 years ago.
Raylane Amaral, 28, decided to do an Ancestry DNA test which led to the shocking discovery that her mother wasn’t related to her, but it went even deeper.
“The first feeling was one of surprise…thinking, ‘What do you mean, a brother?'” Amaral told a local news outlet. “Immediately after being surprised, I got excited about the possibility of having a half-brother on my father’s side. The shock was even greater when I realized it would be a ‘full’ sibling, with both the same father and mother.”
“The feeling of being on holiday disappeared as soon as I saw the results of the first exam, which showed a kinship with Lennon,” Amaral said. “It was a huge shock and also very painful to bring this news to my family, especially to Mum.”Amaral unsuccessfully reached out to Carvalho, 30, on Instagram but eventually found him on LinkedIn and sent him a message: “This is probably going to be the weirdest message you’ll ever receive on LinkedIn, but I don’t think you got my message on Instagram.
Amaral explained the high DNA match and asked Carvalho him some questions, finding out that she was born in the same hospital and on the same day as his sister Milena. “The wait for the DNA result was painful. Time seemed to stand still. The anxiety to have a definitive answer was very high,” Amaral said.
Amaral admitted she felt relieved in part, yet still uneasy about the fact that the woman who raised her was unsure who her biological daughter was.
