  • Summary

  • Missing Pieces - NPE Life is a podcast that curates stories of and about people who find out, usually through a home DNA test, that someone in their family tree isn't who they thought. The host, Don Anderson, found out in 2021 that his dad wasn't his dad. It changed his life. All of the sudden the missing pieces fell into place. Our first episode will drop on May 13, 2022. NPE stands for Not Parent Expected or Non Paternity Event.

it's been a blessing

As someone that is a NPE this podcast has been so helpful for dealing with all these new feelings. I don't feel so alone. Thanks Don.

Love the different perspectives

I love hearing stories not just about a traditional npe who found out their dad wasn’t their dad but from the perspective of others like the spouses, the mother who gave up her daughter, etc.

Wow! Just Wow

Talk about a social experiment in a bottle. Amazing story, full acceptance, but keeping the secret . . . good thing or bad thing? She seems very well adjusted, and sounds like a lovely person
