Welcome to Divided: Family Secrets, a podcast that explores family secrets and unexpected DNA discoveries. I'm your host, Andrew Abney. In August of 2020, my life took a dramatic turn. I was confronted by a stranger claiming to be my biological sibling. I wasn't totally surprised because I knew the man who I thought was my biological had other children. The surprise came when I found out through DNA that the man who I thought was my biological father wasn't.

Join me as I take you through my story and the stories of others who were caught off guard by family secrets and the effects it had on them. For me I was misled by my mother about the identity of my biological father for more than fifty years. As I uncovered the truth, it only led to more secrets being exposed. In this podcast you're not a listener, but a witness to the personal journey of someone who has chosen to peel back the layers of their life and offer a raw, unvarnished view of their world. This is a journey to salvation, redemption and freedom. I encourage you to share your comments and stories with us and maybe we can inspire you to find your truth and deal with the affects it's had on you. Sometimes hearing other people’s journeys helps us to pursue our own.
