Jay, I want to know, are you ready to find out if these two women are your sisters? I am. Well, this DNA outcome is 25 years in the making. Give you the envelope for you to open.
I'm going to be right here when he open it.
What's going on?
I need to wait a minute till he open it.
Mickey, what's going on? What are you feeling?
I just don't really want to be right because I don't know my reaction. What it's gonna be. I don't know if I wanna be next to him or not.
What are you afraid of? What are you afraid?
I'm afraid if it's not, I don't wanna react in a certain type of way if it's not, 'cause we came all the way out here and my sister told me like, let's just go find out, you know? And I just don't, if it is, I just don't know.
Yeah.
I don't wanna go.
Your sister, come on over here. I know this, y'all are both in pain. Y'all, this is pain for y'all too. See, the thing that has to be acknowledged is that not only is he out there hurting and confused, but as much as you holding up a strong front, this is hurting and confusing you too. Because it's like the identity and the life that you built has been shattered. And it's like, now I gotta rebuild something new. I gotta figure out like, if this is what it is now, like what does that mean for like my father? What does it mean for all these things? If it's not true, if he's not your sibling, it's like you put us through all this stuff.
I feel like we took him in, we gave him and tried to welcome him. If he's not, like, I don't know what, just go.
But I have to tell you, even if he's not your brother, and we gonna find out now, what you all have done is given somebody who has not had the best life an opportunity to feel connected, even if it's for a year. And if it does turn out to be your brother, now you can say, well listen, we've done a little work and now we can move on. But trust me, don't feel bad about what happened or what it is.
We ain't heard of him since Adam. I don't know what to—
He had nothing to do with this. He's just like y'all. He's sitting here confused as well. Right. You know what I mean? He's sitting out there just as anxious as y'all. Yeah. It's gonna be all right. Listen, whatever happens, just know I'm here to guide you through it. You hear me?
