For Jovanna, these two options offered no results. And so she decided to do her own research. By submitting her DNA to as many international databases as possible, she hopes to track down unknown relatives. That process takes a lot of time and energy. βIt’s like looking for a needle in a haystack,β says Jovanna. Fortunately, she gets help from her biological mother Lot. She also provided her DNA, so that Jovanna can cross out those matches.
