Donna and Vanner Johnson - from Utah in America - were overjoyed when they were able to conceive through IVF. Twelve years later, they got a stunning surprise. They'd decided to order some DNA kits for themselves and their two children just for fun. The couple sent off their samples, but when the results came through, something wasn't right. Their youngest son's relatives didn't seem to match the family.
