Season 2, #1 Finland – Timo’s Story

When Timo bought a casual DNA test for fun at age 39, he expected to learn about his Viking roots. Instead, he uncovered a life-altering secret: he was donor-conceived, and part of a massive, hidden sibling network. In this season premiere, we step inside a story about commercial DNA testing, identity, and what happens when an unregulated past collides with the present. We meet up with Timo to talk about ethics, honesty, and the emotional impact of uncovering 54 half-siblings—and counting.

In this episode: Emma Karling – midwife and show host

Carolina Tristen – fertility doctor

Timo Ramu – donor-conceived and author
