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
A Legal Paternity Test is a court admissible DNA testing service. Accurate results for DNA paternity testing with 99.99% confidence or greater take about a week.
When deciding which type of DNA test is right for you, consider first what you might do with the results. In order for the results of a DNA test to hold up in court, for child support, or to change the name on a birth certificate, the test must be done at a clinic using strict chain of custody procedures.

Establishing paternity in Saint Petersburg, FL
Establishing paternity in Florida can provide children with many benefits to enrich their lives. For example, the father may be able to provide benefits such as health insurance, and there also may be some disability or military benefits. If paternity is established, the child can also be entitled to estate inheritance.
Parents can establish paternity via Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity form or by court order. If both parties agree about who the father is, signing the form at the hospital is more straightforward than doing it later on, and there is no need for a court order. If parents must establish paternity through the court, the court will usually order a DNA test. Once the DNA results come back, the judge can establish paternity.
Father and son finally reunited after decades
Joseph lived with his mom his whole life and never knew much about his father. He asked many questions but did not get exactly the answers he wanted. Her story would always change a little bit, so more questions continued to arise. He thought he was conceived because of rape.
One day, he took a DNA test and found his biological father, Bobby Parker. Bobby said he had been wondering his whole life what had happened to Joseph, but he had problems with alcoholism. Now, he is sober and says he could not be happier to get to know his son at a time when he could see everything clearly and react appropriately.
Parker's wife was also very supportive and said they had so much in common and looked alike. They eventually met even with Joseph's kids, and his wife, and Bobby said he was proud to see how much love he had for his family.
The family is planning on spending Christmas and Thanksgiving together.
