Related: About this forumevidently I made a big mistake on ordering DNA ancestry test kit
I thought I was simply buying the kit for a Christmas present because a family member wants to do it. But when it came to me in the postal mail, a notice also came to my ancestry account and the kit is meant to be used by me. Not given to someone else.
Ick!
How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance for advice!

(4,705 posts)But it is tempting, there's always a scandal. My birth mother was told her father was a different person. My sister (also adopted) had this really bad father (rest of the bio family on both sides are wonderful), my ex-wife had a half brother after her parents divorced who was adopted out, DNA shows the ex husband was the father. My current wife's grandfather was a foundling. My adopted mother has a normal and boring family tree that is exactly what I expected, so there are exceptions.
