An ancestry dna kit to help Jahira find family connections

Posted Jun 13, 2023
Jahira has been in foster care for more than half her life and has lived separately from her two brothers and little sister for nearly that entire time. She does not feel a strong connection with her immediate and known family, so she is hoping that 23andme will help her connect to extended family members and the outside world.

Jahira is 18 years old and lives in CA

Jahira entered the system at 8 years old due to physical abuse and has lived in group homes or foster homes over half of her life. Jahira loves music, writing, basketball, football, and entertaining people. A dream of hers is to one day become an actress.
