At the age of 45, hoping to find some detail about my father I sent a cheek swab to FTDNA. Not only did I find him via a relative doing genealogy but he turned out to be a completely different person than I had thought! My aunts had been telling me it was wishful thinking on my mother's part because she was obsessed with who she wanted it be.
Can you imagine? Forty five years of not knowing who your real father is because someone refused to face reality! Unfortunately reading these threads on Reddit made me realize my story is all too common. All I can say is highly recommended if you're trying to discover your true roots.
