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.

Donna revealed that Laura's biological parents were high school sweethearts who made the difficult decision to put her up for adoption due to their young age. With this information, Laura was able to track down her father, Joe, and reconnect him with Donna. He was divorced, and Donna was widowed. The pair immediately hit it off.
