Because i was watching some tv show and they used DNA and found a adopted person's real family that the adopted person never knew they had. I wonder if that is real or not.
DNA analysis can tell you a likelihood of two people being related.
In the scenario you described, you've got the DNA of one person, but you will not be able to tell wehther or not they're related to some other person unless you've got the other person's DNA. That requires a blood draw or sputum sample be taken in person.
Through Ancestry, I have connected with DNA relatives who were adopted and did not know their genetic family. I have provided family tree information and photos.
I have a cousin whose Ancestry DNA results identified a half-sister the family never knew existed. If you’re not open to that possibility, then I strongly suggest you avoid DNA testing through companies like Ancestry and 23andMe.

As opposed to the fake family who raised them?
I know that's not what you meant, but if I'd adopted a child, loved them, raised them, paid the bills, cleaned up the messes, dried their tears, worried over them, made a family with them--I'd be miffed that total strangers who'd been out of the picture for decades were considered their real family.

No, that isn't what i meant.
I wonder too in the case of a missing child who ran away from home when they were young to a family they didn't know, whether DNA would be able to find their real family.
I used AncestryDNA, and discovered in my family tree that people don't seem to have my family name.
Lots of people don't have your family name. In fact, statistically, unless it's Lee or Smith, no one has your family name.
