Reuniting with the 'Wrong' Parent/Child

DNA tests now prove that Daniel O'Connor is not the son that Australian Health Minister Tony Abbott and his then girlfriend placed for adoption 27 years ago. The story of Abbott's and O'Connor's reunion was splashed all over the Australian and international press last month, however another man came forward claiming to be O'Connor's father and the DNA tests were performed.For O'Connor, it must certainly be an emotional rollercoaster, one that threw him and his adoptive family into press headlines.And how has it been for Tony Abbott? Unless he goes public with his feelings, we may never know, but a couple of years ago, a friend of mine told a similar story that gives insight into birthparent emotions and the impact on family dynamics when something like this happens, and I encourage you to read it.
