More and more men who were adopted are using yDNA to find their birth families.  On 9 February, 2009, Family Tree DNA announced they had received their 500,000th order for a DNA test kit. Apparently their database is now so large, a male adoptee taking a yDNA test through FTDNA has a 30% to 40% chance of matching someone bearing the surname of his biological father.
