Nickole grew up in a by-choice single parent home with her mom, Ann who had more than enough love for Nickole and her sister. Ann had always wanted children but was aging quickly and made the informed decision to have children via sperm donor. Ann had the support of her loved ones while she took the steps in becoming a mom.

Client Stories: Terry’s Story
My story is a bit different due to the fact I kind of fell into the DNAngels Facebook group by accident. But really…was it? I have been working on our family tree and history for a while – like 40 years. When I initially started the genealogy search it was because “I wanted to know where we came from”; England, Ireland, Russia – where exactly? I remember asking my mother in grade school this same question, to which she always responded, “call your grandmother.” You see she had been adopted …
Client Stories: Frances’ Story
Frances joined DNAngels in May of 2021 and her story captivated me. She was born in the fall of 1973 and quickly adopted by her maternal grandparents who loved and cared for her as their own. The love and support she had from them, was enough to make her feel safe and secure in the world she lived, she did not long for a relationship with her biological parents when she was younger. You see, her mother Joy, was only 17 when she gave birth to Frances and Joy was forced to marry young due to …
Client Stories: Bruce-Paul’s Story
I Have Something To Say - A DNA/NPE Story My name is Bruce-Paul. I’m an NPE. I should say I was an NPE or maybe always will be. My ‘Case’ has been solved by the DNAngels. By Laura, My Angel. End of story. Good night. I'm sorry, I hoped this would be short, but, I get ahead of myself. As the first case Laura took on to solve, (up until a few weeks ago), I was the longest, unsolved case. Now, I have a name to identify my biological father. However, instead of only closing one door, its only …
Client Stories: RA’s Story
First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank DNAngels: Laura, Kelly and Ramona for their help in finding my possible biological father. My journey began on Christmas 2019 when I received a DNA Ancestry kit as a gift from my wife and children. I expected my results to come back 50% Jewish from my mom’s side and 50% Italian from my dad’s side. Well, the results that came back from Ancestry were 50% correct. It showed that I had 50%+ Ashkenazi Jewish; however there were zero …
Client Stories: Karen’s Story
I had been on Ancestry since around 2009 searching for my mother’s parent’s gravesites. She was very ill at the time with cancer and wanted to find them before she passed away. I had all these matches that I never knew how in the world I would be matched with but never really thought about it. I just assumed it was some part of my maternal family I did not know much about. After my mother passed away I decided to go on the search for her family. I was successful in finding some that I never …
