How a Man’s Unborn Twin Fathered His Child

-
An unusual case illustrates how promiscuous DNA can be. It turns out we have a lot of DNA that isn’t our own Paternity tests are well known for producing some unexpected surprises, but the case involving a Washington man presents a new head-scratcher. After undergoing fertility treatments and having a son, the man and his partner were surprised when blood work showed that the boy couldn’t be related to the father.

I have identified several categories describing the modus operandi of VTS survivors which can help someone clear all the ramifications caused by the trauma of losing a loved one so early in the human experience. Many times I have found that people have had the VTS come up in NET sessions relating to one or more of the aspects described below.
