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

custody procedures. Our Terre Haute DNA testing technicians are
trained to follow guidelines that ensure that the results can be used for
legal purposes.

Establishing paternity in Terre Haute, IN
When it comes to establishing paternity in Terre Haute, Indiana, unwed parents have two options to consider. They can choose to sign a Paternity Affidavit or go through the court process. The Paternity Affidavit is usually signed at the hospital within 72 hours of the child being born. It's important for parents to be certain about paternity before making this legally binding decision. After the affidavit is signed and filed, it reversing it can be much more difficult.
In cases where doubts or questions arise regarding paternity, some parents opt to file a paternity case in court.

Once paternity is established, the judge can also address matters like child support, custody, and visitation arrangements.

DNA test helped Terre Haute man discover his family
James recently discovered that he has three half-brothers, a half-sister, and multiple nephews and nieces after he took a DNA test. The 61-year-old pastor had no idea until recently who his father was. His mother got pregnant when she was only fifteen years old after she went on a date with his father, who worked in the military.
Eventually, his daughters, who bought him the DNA test in the first place, tracked James' father down but found out he died a few years back. James did not want to pursue it further, but his family continued the search. A heartwarming Christmas dinner brought the family together, leaving no dry eye in the house. This unexpected reunion has brought immense joy and contentment to James Norman's life, as he embraces the gift of newfound connections and a sense of belonging.
