My Journey

I was born on February 18, 1972, to 18-year-old Debbie Hohn from Des Moines, Iowa and was raised by my biological mother and maternal grandparents until I was four years old. My mother met and married Stephen Blair in 1976 and he adopted me at that time.

My mother and father went on to have two girls. My sisters Sarah Jackson and Sherri Smith are the sweetest, kindest, and most supportive people I know. They will always be my best friends.

Learning that I had another side of my family in the world, and with very little information to go on, both troubled me and fueled my creative side. It was a mystery that needed solving. My wife Amy and I have searched for twenty-five years on our own and using the aides of private investigators, lawyers, and genealogy specialists. Hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars went toward this search, with no luck. 

Finally, in December 2016 I took an AncestryDNA test and in February of 2017 I received my results. I had a DNA match with a biological aunt and a second cousin. With their help, I was able to determine who my biological father was. The mystery has been solved!

Today, I am reaching out to any bio-family members who want to join in this journey and meet me and my family. I'm looking for a connection to my past and a bridge to my future. If you’re interested, please feel free to contact me and we can make arrangements to talk and/or meet when the time is right for you.
