he was born in west philadelphia a part of st. vincents home for unwed mothers, he posted on facebook what he if knows, maybe 45 or 46 and yes he was a big baby. >> approximately 12 pounds at birth, smith was adopted by a loving family but he became to think about his birth parents, he found his birth mother and this is a picture of his half sister and his birth father now deceased wanted nothing to do with him. >> it was a negative but i gained so many people in my family through him. it was a positive. >> it's possible his brother won't want to meet or even know he is adopted. he hopes that smith finds his brother. we would welcome him as part of our family as we did mark.

he is our family we got to meet mark and mark's kids. he has children of his own, including teenage twins, he asked him why finding his brother was so important. >> i said to them could you imagine if mommy and i put our first child up for adoption and you would be missing a part of you, missing a part of our family and i think for my own children it was an aha moment. ting. they're not getting information from these tests that are helpful for teaching. kids aren't benefiting because they don't even know what they got right or wrong. they just know that they feel really bad about it. parents aren't benefitting because i don't get any more information about my child. so the only people that could possibly be benefitting from this are corporations who are making the tests and selling the tests.
