MyHeritage Adoption Program Goes Global

Source: MyHeritage.com

I must say MyHeritage is thee new rockstar DNA company and it continues to impress:

In March 2018, MyHeritage launched DNA Quest,"a new pro bono initiative to help adoptees and their birth families reunite through genetic testing." DNA Quest, first available in the United States, received such an outstanding response that the program is now being expanded globally! 

According to MyHeritage: 

The initiative, initially launched in the USA only, received an amazing response. More than 10,000 applications were submitted so far to receive free DNA kits, from the quota of 15,000 free DNA kits pledged by MyHeritage, worth more than one million dollars.

Being that the deadline for submissions is the end of April 2018 and there are still about 3 more weeks to go, and in light of the many requests we received from the community to expand DNA Quest worldwide, we decided to increase the scope of the project, from USA-only to global. 

This means that people are now eligible to participate in DNA Quest regardless of their place of residence  and regardless of where the adoption took place. 

Remember the deadline to participate in MyHeritage DNA Quest is April 30, 2018. So if you're interested in this important initiative please visit www.dnaquest.org NOW to enroll. 

You can read more at MyHeritage blog but here's some quick information about the project:

Who can participate
Participation in DNA Quest is open to adoptees seeking to find their biological family members, or anyone looking for a family member placed for adoption. Preference will be given to those unable to afford genetic testing, and to those who apply first.

How to apply
Adoptees and family members searching for their biological relatives can apply for a free MyHeritage DNA kit at DNAQuest.org through April 30, 2018. Participants will be selected, and their free DNA kits will be shipped to them by the end of May 2018. Results are expected as early as July 2018.

• King Genome's Tip: If you've already tested at another DNA company, you can upload your DNA data to MyHeritage for FREE.

I wish you all abundant success and great luck with your search!
