At the age of 45 I took a DNA test for fun and discovered that the father who raised me wasn't my biological father. After successfully using DNA clues to find and reunite with my birth father, I became passionate about helping others with similar stories. I started as a search angel in Search Squad and DNA Detectives in 2016, which gave me the experience and confidence to start my career as a professional genetic genealogist in early 2019. I am currently accepting new clients for unknown parent cases as well as volunteering as an Investigative Genetic Genealogy for Moxxy Forensics on law enforcement cases.
I value my client's privacy and keep all aspects of each case confidential.
Testimonials
She did the impossible. Dawn went out of her way to make sure i found my bm and bf. I thought i would have to go through a huge court thing which i didn't wish to do. what i found might not have been perfect but so far has taken a giant weight off my shoulders that have been there for a long time. Dawn can do anything. Ken W June 25, 2021
My husband and I can't Thank you Dawn enough for helping us with his dna searches to find his father and siblings. You worked long hours and days and never gave up. We had to go through alot to solve pieces of the puzzle but you did it! We will definitely recommend you to others! Thank you so much!! Please stay in touch with us. Nancy G May 28, 2021
Dawn found my entire biological family, both sides ! She also helped me navigate a slightly tricky continuing conversation with my biological father who had some reservations about the whole process. She did some backtracking and retracing the family line from the other side to show further proof and made the whole meeting the new family great . She gets the highest marks from me , thank you thank you Sunrise DNA !! Eric C January 9, 2020
Dawn is a amazing! My sister (who has a different father than I) used Dawn for her search for her Father and found him in less the 48 hours!! I highly recommend Sunrise DNA! Dawn found that I have 2 half sisters as well as solving who my birth Father was. With little to no real information other than my DNA. She found an uncle who had no idea at his age that he was adopted. She is very patient and persistent! Many hours of her time was put into this. She is very resourceful too! I highly recommend her for any DNA research you need done! Thank you Dawn for all you have done for you and my family!!! Kelly R December 28, 2019
