Our Mission
NPE Nest (NPEN) is a dedicated community and resource hub for individuals who have experienced unexpected DNA discoveries — those who have learned through DNA testing that their biological parentage, family identity, or origins differ from what they were raised to believe. We exist to provide compassionate support, connection, and resources to NPEs (Not Parent Expected) and DNA surprise individuals as they navigate the emotional, relational, and identity-related complexities of their discoveries. We are committed to building a network of trusted, trauma-informed professionals who share our values of empathy, integrity, and person-centered care.
