When Greg Louganis, 57, first submitted his DNA to ancestry.com in late 2016—and confirmed the identity of his birth father, Fouvale Lutu — the Olympic diver never thought he’d find his birth mother as well.
“I didn’t realize I would pop up on other people’s pages as a relative,” says Louganis, who was given up for adoption at birth.
But in May, a woman reached out via ancestry.com and told him, “I think you might be my aunt’s son.”
On Mother’s Day he called his mom, retired medical assistant Cynthia Harris, 73, for the first time.
