This week Chris & Jay welcome Lizett Armstrong who shares the emotional journey of discovering her biological father’s identity after years of uncertainty. Born in Tijuana and raised in the United States without knowledge of her father, Lizett’s quest begins with fragmented clues and a baptismal certificate. Her mother's reluctance to divulge information fueled Lizett’s determination to learn more. With the help of Jay Rosenzweig and genealogical advances in DNA testing, Lizett overcomes significant challenges posed by cross-border searches and common last names. The breakthrough arrives when a DNA test not only confirms her father’s identity but also connects her with relatives who knew him. This episode captures the complexities of Lizett's search, the poignant discovery of her father’s past, and her emotional reunion with a family she never knew she had, all intertwined with themes of identity, family bonds, and closure.
