Kieron Graham has known from a young age that he was adopted. While he loves his adoptive family, he has always wondered about his birth mother and brother. When his adoptive mom gave him a DNA test tool, they both hoped it might help him find his birth family. But neither of them guessed it would work so quickly. And when it did, Graham learned he and his longlost brother should have crossed paths every day.
It took just one week from the time Graham, a college student at Georgia’s Kennesaw State University, received his DNA results on Ancestry.com for him to connect with his brother. Graham’s DNA results showed that his closest match was a man named Vincent Ghant, and it turned out that Ghant lived just a few minutes away.
Graham reached out and learned that the two were in fact longlost brothers. Their mother, Shawn Ghant, made the diffcult decision to place Kieron in adoptive care when he was just a baby. And she has worried and wondered about her youngest son ever since. Graham has since been reunited with his mother and both of his brothers on his mother’s side.
“It’s all surreal(离奇的). Too many words are needed to describe exactly what I’m feeling about the entire situation, but it’s a good situation，” Graham tells MNN.
As fate would have it, Kieron and Vincent are both students at Kennesaw State University. They even have the same major—Political Science. So it’s a safe bet the two have crossed paths many times over the past three years. And now, thanks to some DNA sleuthing(侦查), the two will cross paths many more times in the years to come.
“We’re getting together on Christmas with everyone, birth mother included，” Graham says. “That’s sure to be a very indelible Christmas indeed, which will always be remembered by us.”
