Often, if you are new to DNA paternity testing, it is very hard for you to choose the right DNA testing center. And this can be often be very disheartening and frustrating. In today’s episode, I’m going to shares some simple steps to start a DNA paternity testing. For more information about DNA testing – log on to DNAmazing.com

Hi, me and my girlfriend are trying to figure out if I’m the father of her baby. Her doctor would not do the amnio and we researched online and apparently many labs now offer non-invasive prenatal paternity testing.

We called and set up everything with a company called DNA Plus and she’s supposed to go get her blood taken at the hospital today. The guy on the phone told us not to mention anything about paternity testing to the hospital.

Doesn’t that seem kind of shady? Me and her are scared because of the reliability of this now. The website claims basically 100% accuracy and they are BBB accredited.

Here is a link to the page by the way: http://www.dnaplus.com/fetal_cell_prenat…

Also, we have to ship the blood aand DNA samles ourselves using FedEx.

I called them back (btw, its ALWAYS the same guy that answers the phone and its 24/7) and asked them why we can’t mention anything and he said “its none of the hospital’s business. and hospitals don’t like doing anything paternity related because it can end up leading to an abortion, and all the paperwork says we’re doing bloodtesting which that is what we’re doing.”

Waiting till the baby is born is not an option. We’re both going through emotional turmoil and need an answer. Nobody in the family even knows she’s pregnant due to the embarrassing circumstances.

A friend of mine took a DNA paternity test though the District attorneys office approved testing lab and the test came back that the father was not the father. She says she was a virgin when she got pregnant.

I have been married for about four years and recently discovered by using a home paternity test that my year and a half old daughter is not actually mine. My wife confessed that she had been with another man at approximately the apparent time of conception.

We have decided to stay married, but I would like the alleged father to take a paternity test to validate this and make sure my daughter knows her real father. But the alleged individual will not take a DNA test willingly.

Can I have the courts decide paternity? And since we are still married, can he be forced to pay child support?

Thank you in advance for any help and advice.

My family and I want a paternity test to be performed but we all live in different countries.

We want an official, government test (at a hospital) who can then issue a certificate of paternity robablility rather than a home test.

Can collect the samples at our diferent locations and send them in to the test centre, or do we have to be there in person?

Alos, I understand that the result will be more accurate with the mother’s DNA as well?

Cheers

I asked this question in the pregnancy section and got little joy. What I want to know is could a DNA paternity test result by buccal swab be wrong if done in a reputable lab?

I have heard of things such as contamination and DNA mutation of the father between conception and test date (18 months on).

The sample has been in the lab over a month now awaiting the other sample to be tested. It says not to eat or smoke before, what impact could this have and is human error more common than they lead us to believe or do they even know 99.99% if they are correct?

Interested to know anybodys opinions please who is in the know.

If I opted to use DNA testing, would a lock of hair be sufficient?

What DNA labs conduct test results that can be used for paternity purposes?
