evidently I made a big mistake on ordering DNA ancestry test kit

[Grasswire2]

I thought I was simply buying the kit for a Christmas present because a family member wants to do it. But when it came to me in the postal mail, a notice also came to my ancestry account and the kit is meant to be used by me. Not given to someone else.

Ick!

How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance for advice!

1. I don't know but I wouldn't give samples of my DNA to one of these companies.

4. Yes, because out of the planet of 7 billion, they're just waiting for

your DNA.

5. Yeah I find the "THEY are coming after little ole me" take amusing

I know someone who shreds everything because she thinks the powers-that-be are interested in her. We on the rabble side are just numbers to those with economic power. They don't care about specifics, unless something can benefit them.

6. Yeah I know people like this too. The thought of someone

targeting them, does worry them unduly.

7. I get that, probably wouldn't do it if I weren't adopted.

But it is tempting, there's always a scandal. My birth mother was told her father was a different person. My sister (also adopted) had this really bad father (rest of the bio family on both sides are wonderful), my ex-wife had a half brother after her parents divorced who was adopted out, DNA shows the ex husband was the father. My current wife's grandfather was a foundling. My adopted mother has a normal and boring family tree that is exactly what I expected, so there are exceptions.
