In this episode of Finding Family DNA, we're celebrating a major milestone with a special look back at the journey so far. Host Jay Rosenzweig sits down with longtime co-host Misty, plus the studio team behind the scenes, to reflect on how far the show has come and the moments that made it unforgettable. Along the way, we revisit three past reunion stories, hearing directly from former guests about where their journeys have led since their episodes first aired — from relationships that healed beautifully to ones still finding their footing. We also share heartfelt congratulations from friends of the show along the way. It's an emotional, behind-the-scenes celebration of the reunions, the heartbreak, and the hope that have defined this show from the very beginning.
