00:00I believe we should go to the sibling before you talk to the father.
00:02Oh, I think you should definitely say to the father that this could be a thing.
00:07I did 23andMe and discovered I have a half-sibling I never knew about.
00:11Oh, gosh.
00:11Do I confront my dad, and what if he doesn't even know they exist?
00:14That's crazy.
00:15I did 23andMe and found out I was 99.9 Ashkenazi Jewish,
00:19and I was like, I don't need a test for that, but thank you.
00:21I believe we should go to the sibling before you talk to the father.
00:24Oh, I think you should definitely say to the father that this could be a thing.
00:28What, you're going to have a whole conversation with this person
00:31without talking to your family member first?
00:33Oh, maybe you're right.
00:34I don't know.
00:34It's a tricky thing.
00:35I would do research, not with the half-sibling who's already claiming to be the half-sibling.
00:39Make sure you know for sure.
00:41Right.
00:42It's a quick, like, Google, LinkedIn.
00:44And then I think at the end of the day, it's their decision whether they want to, like, meet this
00:48person.
00:48I think it's totally fine to be honest and say to your dad.
00:52I took this test, and I found out I have a half-sibling.
00:55And he might say, I don't know how that occurred.
00:57And then maybe you have to go a little further.
01:00If you bring this up to your dad, and he feels weird about it, denies it,
01:05you have to think about how important this is to you
01:07because it could disrupt your status quo of your family and start to create an issue.
01:12So think about how much you care.
01:14Modern problems.
01:15Classic solutions.
01:16Got a situation.
01:17We've got opinions.
01:19Send it in.
