She later learned her great-great-grandparents had affairs. And Julia Roberts' family secret seemed to have been buried until she looked into her DNA.
"On the one hand, I — truly — my mind is blown and it is fascinating," Julia said. "And on the other hand, there's part of me that, when I'm calmer, can still wrap my arms around the idea that my family is my family. And I do prefer the name, Roberts!"
Despite the unexpected turn of events, actress Julia Roberts was able to dig further into her ancestry. The Mitchell family could be traced back to the 1800s to a colony in Virginia. Isn’t that incredible?
I’m reminded we are human. We make mistakes that can have generational consequences.
I’m also reminded we have a heavenly father who doesn’t care who our biological father is. Because we are all adopted sons and daughters of our heavenly father. He knows the very hairs on our heads, the way we laugh, what moves our souls, and what lies within our hearts. God’s love is truly unfathomable.
