I enjoy the show vmuch. This ep touched on some issues I have experience of. You can never cover every angle but 3 perspectives were not mentioned at all: 1) Commercial dna is vhorrible but the ONLY realistic option to find bio families&criminals.They only work because many people use them. 2) Huge reason to find a rapist father asap is in order to prevent further rapes. 3) Finding lost half siblings is often far far more important than finding a father. It is not all (or even mainly) about Him
