The adoption story of David Scotton will be told on the big screen on September 9th in the new movie Lifemark. In this episode, David shares how as an adoptee, he felt about his birth parents, and he recounts the story and emotions of meeting them for the first time. David's story isn't one of an autosomal DNA test kit, but I thought it was a story worth sharing on DNA Discoveries because of the tagline, Stories of Finding Family.
