Most Common Reasons for a Maternity DNA Test
Wondering when a maternity DNA test might be needed? Here are some common reasons:
Proving Maternity for Immigration: Essential for verifying maternal relationships in immigration cases.
Resolving Hospital Nursery Mix-Ups: Helps clarify any doubts about a baby's parentage after leaving the hospital.
Peace of Mind: Offers lifelong assurance after bringing your newborn home.
Verifying Biological Ties for Adoptees: Confirms if an adoptee is related to a potential biological mother.
Accuracy in In-Vitro Fertilization Cases: Ensures the right biological mother in IVF situations.
Rest assured, your results are completely confidential, and your genetic information is never shared or sold.
Maternity DNA Testing Options
There are two main types of maternity DNA tests:
Legal Testing: Results are court-admissible and can be used for legal purposes such as immigration. We coordinate the DNA sample collection at a nearby location. A professional collector manages identification, completes the paperwork, and sends the samples to DDC for testing.
Personal Knowledge Testing: If you're seeking peace of mind and not legal documentation, you can collect your sample using an at-home maternity test kit. However, note that these results are not court-admissible.
TIP: If you think you might need the results for court later, opt for a legal test first to avoid retesting.
