Woman takes DNA test as a joke and uncovers half-sibling no one knew existed

If you don't look like your parents or siblings, you might find yourself feeling like the odd one out from time to time. You might even have the occasional thought about being adopted or switched at birth. Farrah Khiji-Holmes had always wondered if this might be the case as she says she's 'nothing like' her family.

So she decided to finally find out the truth once and for all, by taking a DNA test. But what started out as just a laugh, ended with a real shock as the 52-year-old discovered she had a half-brother that none of her relatives knew anything about.
