Letters to the Editor

Over the Top
It's been a while since I've seen a letter on this thread that I thought was clearly bogus, but I have a tough time believing this is real. There are too many inconsistencies and oddities.
Simple DNA testing results don't come back stating that you have "Chinese" or "German" or "Tanzanian" ancestry! Only a few broad categories are involved, and someone with ancestors from China would simply receive a report that a certain percentage of their genetic make-up likely came from non-specific Asian or East Asian ancestry; and unless your, say, Icelandic, almost everyone will have a few surprises. Such is the human cycle of life, love, conquest, and migration.
Second, almost every adopted child has their adopting parents listed on their birth certificate if a new certificate is generated or requested; and when babies or small children are involved, it's standard practice. By definition, the adopting parents are now THE parents of the child. The remark about "how in the world" the parents managed that rings false.
Third, as another poster commented, the snarky comment about "evangelical Christians" seems really out of place. Where did that come from, and why was it necessary to insert that?
Fourth-- "Shep?" "Delores?" These are your chosen aliases? "Shep??"
I could go on with a few more items, but I'll stop. Too much Jerry Springer here.
