Pam and Annie Branum.
In November 2013, Touchstone Pictures released a comedy-drama entitled Delivery Man. The movie is about a sperm donor who finds out he is the biological father of 533 children. Only a year or so prior to the movie’s release, mother and daughter, Pam and Annie Branum, underwent DNA testing through 23andMe for genealogical purposes. The mother, Pam, was shocked when the test results showed that her husband was not Annie’s biological father. The story takes a few twists and turns and reveals what can go horribly wrong in a setting that supposedly exists to make people’s dreams of having their very own children come true. Read the fascinating and disturbing story here.
