60 Summary To help adoptees and their birth families reunite through genetic testing Providing 15,000 MyHeritage DNA kits, for free, worth more than one million dollars Participation is open to US adoptees seeking to find their biological family members, and to parents and other family members looking for a child they had put in adoptive care years ago Preference to people who are not able to afford genetic testing Applications are open until April 30, 2018 Adoptees who have already tested with another DNA service can upload their DNA data for free to participate in this project DNAAdoption is on Advisory Board 60

61 Summary We need your help. Please submit your data today! Predicted relationships between matches can be an important clue when verifying trees, working on brick walls, or searching for family. Differences in the algorithms and chips affect both the amount of shared DNA reported and the predicted relationship - making research harder. Using the data you submit, we will help the genetic genealogy community understand these impacts 61
