She was born second, and the family welcomed another child later. As time went by, everyone started realizing that Lindsey didn\u2019t resemble her siblings at all. While they were darker and had brown eyes and dark hair, Lindsey had curly blonde hair.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>One day, the grandma decided to ask her son and her daughter-in-law about Lindsey, saying there was something fishy about the way she became part of the family. Her son got really angry at his mom for questioning his daughter\u2019s heritage, claiming she was indeed their biological child.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>When Lindsay turned 15, she also started realizing that she was very different from her siblings.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>One day, during biology class, Lindsay approached her teacher and started asking her about the ways she could learn whether she was indeed her parents\u2019 child. The teacher told her everything there is about DNA testing, and Lindsay was determined to take one, but the issue was that she didn\u2019t have the money for something like that.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>When she told her grandma about her doubts and her wish to learn more about herself, her grandma was more than willing to pay for the test.Eventually, it was determined that Lindsay and her siblings didn\u2019t share the same mother. Lindsay\u2019s father got another woman pregnant while married to his wife, and when the woman gave birth to Lindsay, she gave her to her father to raise her.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'><strong>\u201cThis has blown up the family while Lindsey is pissed to being lied to, I am getting a ton of heat for getting her a DNA test.
