Manuel Gragg is my BIOLOGICAL FATHER! Do you REALLY FEEL that I NEED to provide any other evidence that we are 'confirmed with DNA'??

Are you SERIOUS???

Please change his relationship to his father from 'confirmed with DNA' to 'confident' until you have put the required statement on this profile explaining how you used DNA to confirm the relationship. Thanks!
