She was conceived at the fertility clinic of Dr. Donald Cline and she unfortunately was told that the information regarding her biological father was unavailable. But after completing a DNA test kit, Jacoba found out some shocking news. Because she soon discovered that she had close to hundreds of half-siblings. Their fertility doctor was hiding a huge secret and the siblings would be shocked to discover the truth behind who their father was.
