Psst... Who's your daddy?

A woman in the US has shared how she discovered her dad isn’t her biological father after a stranger texted her to get a DNA test.

In a series of videos, TikTok user Lane (@laneiscool14) detailed her remarkable story.

Last year, she received an anonymous message from an unknown phone number encouraging her to conduct an Ancestry.com test.

“This f**king text message right here changed my life forever,” she said in a three-minute clip.

“About a year ago now, on Jan 9, I get a text message telling me to get a DNA test from Ancestry.

“And I think it’s fake, I FaceTime my friend, and I’m like, ‘Listen to this’. And she’s like, ‘I swear my gut is telling me this is real. You need to respond’. So I respond, and then they write me back.”

The Brooklyn-based TikToker said the text conversation left her “shook”. And in need of grammar lessons. She added that the person made a “burner account on Facebook” to message her and her husband about the DNA test.

“They would not provide me with any sort of proof that this was real, and, obviously, I called my mum immediately, saying, ‘What the f**k,’” she continued.

Lane’s mother ultimately confessed that she had an affair with a 25-year-old man while she was in college at age 35 receiving her degree in education. So Lane is half-cougar?

She admitted the man who raised Lane was not her father.

“I almost fell off my f**king chair,” Lane explained in the video.

“She had an affair with a guy ten years younger than her when she was in college.

“It was a one-time thing, but he even saw her on campus and said, ‘Is that mine?’ and she denied it.” BITCH!

Lane immediately ordered an Ancestry test. Six weeks later, she received her results.

“I find out that, yes, this man is my father. So I message him immediately, and he lives in California. He’s British. What the f**k?” she said.

“He said my mum sent him a Christmas card when I was two years old, saying my name in it and that he’s googled my name ever since.

“In 2007, my name popped up, and he saw a picture of me, and he knew immediately that I was his daughter.”

Lane said her biological father emailed her mother to get in contact with her, but she “threatened him” and said to “leave them alone” and never contact them again. I repeat, BITCH!

“So what did he do? He followed me on social media my entire life,” she said.

“He watched me date my boyfriend, get married, have babies, everything, all from the outside, not able to know me.”

Lane then posted a side-by-side photo of her and her biological father, writing, “I’m telling you this picture freaked me the f**k out.”

In a follow-up video, Lane revealed her biological father once called her place of work at the time and asked what time it closed in the hopes of hearing her voice.

He also wanted to go get his haircut by her at the salon she worked at, but said his wife advised against it because she thought Lane would immediately know he was her father.  see pic below

Lane said in another video that it wasn’t her biological father who sent the text messages, but his nephew, who found himself in a similar experience.

Lane said the family secret put a significant strain on her relationship with her mother. As a result, she cut her out of her life.

“Cutting my mum off was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,” Lane said.

“Never would I have ever expected it.”

In a recent update, Lane revealed that she and the father who raised her haven’t spoken about the news, but he does know she isn’t his biological daughter.

“One of my sisters who I’m estranged with, immediately told him. another BITCH! So, I don’t know what his reaction was,” she said.

“I can only imagine he was just as devastated as me, but then there is also the fact that between him and [me], not a lot changes,’ she said.

“That is still my dad. I am still his daughter. My kids are still his grandkids.”

Lane explained that will talk to him about it eventually and is taking things at her own pace.

“I just feel like I have two dads now, which is a good thing,” she concluded.

This seems far fetched. Why would a stranger send a random text? 

Well, it wasn't exactly random if the result is to be believed. And "stranger" just means that the sender wasn't known to Lane -- not necessarily that the sender didn't have a connection to Lane or knowledge of her birth parent.
