What percentage of people tested come to learn they are adopted or a love child?

[Slavic Italian]

I bet at least 30% but just a guess on my part.

I find that hypothesis unlikely since it would mean that for each one million at least three hundred thousand are adopted or born as a result of a love affair.

An estimate of 0,5% to 1% seems more realistic but with that said I am just speculating and not basing it on any data.

Think about how people are these days. I know about three woman who have three kids from three different men. People play.

That's one particular case and even though such dysfunctional families do exist they aren't the norm or that epidemic yet to assume a 30% figure.

At least definitely not from a Portuguese society perspective.

The U.S. is full of dysfunction. Apples and oranges comparing it with Portugal.

Lets assume that everybody in the U.S. does a DNA test.

30% of 326,326,020 (U.S. estimated population) = 978,978,06

Do you still find it realistic?

Three out of every ten. Possible.

Adoptees usually learn they were adopted when they grow up. And extramarital children are not that common (I mean from a different man). Maybe 1-3% or so.

That might be the case in Belarus but that is not how it is in the U.S.

That is the case everywhere, buddy.
