My Birth Family Reached Out After 31 Years with a Shocking Demand — Did I Handle It Wrong?

A man’s search for his medical history after being adopted as a baby led him to his biological family, but their sudden interest took a shocking turn. After using a DNA test, he was contacted by siblings claiming their mother needed a liver transplant and that he was her only hope. Despite their emotional pleas, he remained skeptical, especially when they admitted none of her other five children had been tested. Feeling manipulated, he confronted them at a coffee shop, refusing to help and cutting ties. He realized his adoptive family was his true family, willing to do anything for him, unlike his biological relatives. He deleted his DNA profile and changed his contact information to ensure they couldn’t reach him again. The experience reinforced his belief that family is defined by love, not blood.
