A DNA kit for Xan who wants to find out more about himself and his relatives
Xan, 19 years old, CA
Wish submitted by:
Kamalii Foster Family AgencyXan is a kind, friendly, and down-to-earth guy. He has dealt with a lot of moving around and instability. Because of that, he’s built up a lot of resilience. Right now, he is focused on his future and working hard to build a stable life for himself. He loves gaming, hanging out with friends, and expressing himself through tattoos and piercings. Xan is a good listener, open to learning new things, and really motivated to make something great out of his next chapter.
Xan has spent his life in foster care and adoptive placements without a clear understanding of his biological roots or family history. As he has gotten older, he has become more interested in learning where he comes from and who he is connected to. Receiving a 23andMe ancestry DNA kit would give Xan the opportunity to explore his heritage and better understand his background. It may also help him identify possible biological relatives he has not had the chance to know. For Xan, this is about more than curiosity. He has sometimes struggled with identity and feeling disconnected from a sense of belonging. Learning more about his ancestry could help him build a stronger sense of self, emotional grounding, and connection to others.

"I hope this kit opens some doors for you. A couple of tips that might help stretch its value: once you get your results, you can upload your raw DNA data for free to GEDmatch and MyHeritage — both have their own databases and can turn up additional relative matches at no extra cost. And if you ever want to go even further down the road, AncestryDNA has a larger database and ties into genealogy records that can be really useful for tracing family history. Good luck."
