Specimens we can test for DNA
The easiest and most reliable way to obtain a DNA sample for paternity testing is to swab the inner cheeks of the people being tested. These skin cells are known as buccal cells, and they rub off easily onto cotton swabs and remain in place for analysis by our laboratory. Other specimen samples, such as hair follicles, fingernails, and garments that might contain someone's DNA, can also be tested. An Alternative Specimen DNA Test is done by registering online and shipping the specimens to us.
Legally Admissible DNA Tests vs. "Peace of Mind" At-Home Tests

When deciding which type of DNA test is right for you, consider first what you might do with the results.

Establishing paternity in Elk Grove, California
Unwed parents in California can establish paternity by signing a Voluntary Declaration of Parentage (VDP). If they sign the document at the hospital, they will both be legal parents, and it is unnecessary to establish paternity in court. In this case, the mother's and the father's names will be on the child's birth certificate.
If the mother or the alleged father is unsure about who the father is, they often choose to go to court instead of signing a VDP. The judge will likely order a DNA test to determine whether the alleged father is the birth father. Based on the DNA test results, the judge can establish paternity. Other rights and responsibilities will be defined from there, such as visitation hours, custody, or financial support.
For 70 years, she thought her daughter was dead. DNA test proves otherwise.
Connie, now 69, just met her mother for the first time recently. Her mother was told that her daughter had passed away shortly after her birth. In reality, Connie was adopted by a family in California.
Later on, Connie took a DNA test that matched her with her cousin, and the cousin reconnected Connie with her birth mother—Genevieve. At the age of 88, Genevieve was shocked to discover that her daughter had been alive all these years. Unfortunately, this situation is not unique to them either. According to professional genetic genealogist CeCe Moore, sometimes infants are stolen from their mothers for profit.
Genevieve was unwed when she gave birth and never even saw the baby. In 1949, she was only eighteen years old and didn't even consider asking for a death certificate. When Genevieve found the adoption paperwork with her signature, she realized she had been tricked. She remembered signing some documents but had no idea it was about adoption. Instead, she thought the paperwork was to direct the hospital about what to do if she could not care for the baby or died.
Now that the DNA test has reunited the mother and daughter, they realize they have much more in common than their appearances. They both had an interest in healthcare careers and enjoyed cooking and crocheting. Connie now plans to move forward with meeting two half-siblings as well.
