Cary, North Carolina - DNA Testing
Establishing paternity in Cary, North Carolina
Establishing paternity has many benefits for a child, for example, a greater sense of identity, access to the medical history of both parents, and financial support. By establishing paternity, a child can have rights to all of this.
In North Carolina, parents can establish paternity via signing a voluntary acknowledgment or court order. The most convenient for parents is to voluntarily establish paternity at the hospital when the baby is born and file it with Vital Records.
However, sometimes there are doubts about who the biological father is. In this case, the alleged father may choose to take a DNA test. The DNA results can not only provide peace of mind but also show whether the alleged father is, in fact, the biological father. If either parent files a court order to establish paternity due to uncertainty, the judge will likely order a DNA test.
DNA test reunites sisters after 54 years
Carol's daughter took a DNA test and uncovered a big family secret. When she received the DNA results, Carol confronted her mother, who admitted that the man who raised her was not her biological father. After that, Carol discovered that she had relatives in Ireland.
After she matched with her uncle, she wrote to him, exchanging a few messages. Soon after, she found out she had two half-brothers and one half-sister. Unfortunately, her biological father has already passed away. However, Carol met with her sister in North Carolina and soon traveled to Ireland to meet the rest of the family, and they organized a nice family reunion.
Carol said she immediately fell in love with Dublin and the time with her new-found family was terrific. They are already planning their next trips in the future.
