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.

DNA Testing in the City of Estero, FL
Woman Switched at Birth Finds Family 75 Years Later
When Sandra Baronick Pyne received the results of her DNA test, she thought there had been "some kind of a mix-up." She had grown up in a Slavic family, but her results said she was predominantly Italian. She proclaimed that she "didn't believe" in DNA stuff and forgot about it.
Several months later, Debra Monaco Zaffuto was awaiting the results of her DNA test. She was equally surprised when her results revealed that she had a sister she had never known about — a woman named Sandra Baronick Payne. Eventually, Zaffuto's brother Ron Monaco took his own DNA test, revealing that both women were his biological sisters. Further research eventually revealed the only possible conclusion — Payne and Zaffuto were switched at birth.
After learning about each other, all three siblings eventually reunited, meeting at Debra's winter home in Estero, Florida. They're happy to have discovered their new connections and look forward to spending more time getting to know one another.
DNA Test Reunites Siblings
Estero firefighter Ara Hagopian was adopted as an infant 42 years ago. He had no idea where his birth parents lived and assumed he had no siblings. He was content with his life and says he never had any complaints. However, after DNA tests revealed that had two brothers and two sisters, he was excited to finally meet them in person.
The five spent a week together, deciding to get matching tattoos before separating again. Today, they all remain incredibly close and are thrilled to have this newfound connection.
Establishing Paternity in Florida
According to Men's Rights Law Firm, which serves Lee County and the surrounding area, when a child is born to a married couple, the husband is presumed to be the child's legal father. In this case, no further action is required unless the mother or another man challenges the child's paternity.
However, if a child is born out of wedlock, both parents must sign and file a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity form or ask the courts to establish legal paternity. If there's a question about the identity of the child's father, the courts will require a DNA test before making a ruling.
