This group is an inclusive Facebook support group for individuals with a DNA Surprise and those impacted by a Non-Parental Experience (NPE) or Mis-attributed Parental Experience (MPE) geared towards building friendships and encouraging lighthearted banter around our new life as an NPE. The group offers a safe space to connect, share, meet up, and discuss the full range of experiences, challenges, and emotions of NPEs.


NPEN is co-sponsoring the documentary “Missed Conceptions” currently broadcasting on PBS and streaming via the PBS app.

After a life-long search, a woman discovers and attempts to get to know her deceased, sperm donor father— doctor, scientist, prolific artist—making even more discoveries along the way.

In recent years, at-home DNA tests have become a popular gift. Sometimes the tests reveal more than just a family’s heritage or health history, uncovering things that were intentionally stashed behind a wall of secrecy. The documentary “Filling in the Blanks” is one such story.

Currently streaming on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Hulu
