The Children of Sex Tourists Are Tracking Down Their Dads Thanks to DNA Tests

It used to be that men could pop over to another country, have a few kids, then bounce—with the mother(s) of their children never knowing exactly who they were or where they were headed off to. It was bad and wrong, yes, but before cell phones and computers, men used to be able to do this. It’s one of the reasons your uncle calls this time the “good old days” (and doesn’t talk about his experience in Vietnam).

However, much like a case of syphilis, this history is about to be a sore spot in many relationships. That’s because these children of overseas sex tourists now have access to cheap DNA tests, meaning they’re well on the way to finding their fathers. Congrats to all the new dads this will reveal!
