Dr Cline’s cover was blown recently when one of the ‘fatherless’ children, a 33-year-old Heather Woock read a report by The Atlantic, through which he discovered the real identity of her father.
She is reported as saying that she used to receive a call from a stranger who claimed that they are siblings, but she never believed it until the caller mentioned Dr Donald Cline, the fertility doctor her mum saw when she wanted to get pregnant.

According to tuko.co.ke, Heather had earlier taken a DNA test and sent it to Ancestry.com, a website that helps determine people's genealogy in a bid to discover her real father.
Her other half siblings started tracking her on Facebook after seeing her DNA test online, and they have created a Facebook page through which some of them are already in constant touch as they make efforts to unite with the rest of Dr Donald Cline ‘secret children’.
