I would recommend Ancestry.com for your DNA testing. I believe they have the largest database.

You also might want to look into the DNA NPE Facebook group.

NPE stands for "Not Parent Expected". The Facebook group is a private group for those who discover their birth certificate parent is different from their birth parent. You are not alone. There are a lot of us NPE folks out here and the people at the NPE Friends groups are very supportive.

When a DNA test upends your identity, some find 'family' in secret Facebook group

You must request permission to join the private Facebook group.
