Olivia Robles was born in 1967. At 10 years old, she learned that her mother's husband — the man who practically raised her — wasn't actually her birth father.
Thus began Olivia's lifelong search to find her biological dad.
Months passed… and then years… and then decades. By this point, Olivia had had children of her own. And finally, 40 years after she began looking for the truth, she received a notification from ancestry.com.
The DNA sample she'd once submitted long ago came back with a match. Olivia had no idea how she was related to a woman named Diana Barnes, but she was more than eager to find out.

Olivia reached out to Diana, hoping the stranger could provide some insight after so many years. During the pair's conversations, Olivia heard about Diana's cousin, Gary, a Vietnam veteran.
Diana sent Olivia a photo of Gary — and she couldn't help but realize the man looked a whole lot like her own son.
However, Gary had made a vow back when he was a young man in the Navy to never have children. Which is why the sudden and unexpected phone call he received from Olivia, at the age of 87, shocked him to the core.
