I never had any interest, although I found out about an unknown brother who did do a test. In 1999 I had a phone call and eventual meeting with someone who said they were a half brother.

I lived in Baltimore at the time, which is where I was born, and he lived in Philly and was born in Wilmington, De, not that far away, and was adopted. After many conversations we eventually met and even though I wasn't tested, I'm pretty sure he was who he said he was. I had another half brother that I knew about and grew up seeing often. He looked just like that brother. After almost 20 years and now I live in Florida, we still communicate and for awhile I did see him down here, because he owned a home in New Smyrna Beach.
