A Texas woman used a home DNA test kit to find her biological father after 52 years.
Susan Chambers was told by her adoptive mother that she was conceived on a train when her biological mother met her biological father, a Marine on leave from Vietnam.
"I just assumed I would never find him because I had no name or anything to go on other than I knew he was a passenger on a train in September of 1966," Chambers told WFAA. The man realized while communicating with Chambers over email that his grandfather had been a Marine during the Vietnam War, according to WFAA. He then asked his grandfather about any potential connection.
