VANCOUVER — For 10-year-old Isabelle Smit, finding new blood relatives through a long-shot DNA drive has been like a game of Connect the Dots. She’s really tall, she’s older than me. In addition to Yaya, who was also featured in the video, Smit has matched with three other distant relatives, including one from Chongqing. Lundgren said she was given very little information about Smit’s birth family when she adopted her at 10 months old in 2007. “It’s kind of incredible that 15 samples came back from China and 1/8two3/8 were matched with their birth families,” Lundgren said.
