Does anybody know how a paternity testr works??

Question

well i mean does he go once or more then once. like does he sit down and talk to someone first and then he goes back?? and how long does it take 2 comeback?

Answer 1

I actually do the collection for a well known DNA company... You would probably do a buccal swab test. First you fill out LOTS of paperwork. They do a buccal swab of baby, dad and possibley mom with a long qtip to scrape the cells off of the inside of the cheek (doesnt hurt at all...just makes your mouth dry). Its then sent to a lab where they break down the cells and get the different DNA strands to compare mom to baby, and dad to baby. hope this helps

Answer 2

i think they blood samples from the father and the child. ive seen a bit of one on maury they took a q-tip and wiped cells from inside the child and the fathers mouth.

Answer 3

In my state...it was court ordered by the child support agency.  I took my son...they swabbed both our mouths and took our picture and sent it off to the lab.  The father had his mouth swabbed and picture taken and it was sent off to the lab also.  After he went...the results were sent to both of us in the mail (and a copy to child support).

Answer 4

it uses a cotton swab

get the saliva from ur cheek n the babys cheek

and put it on the little thing it comes with

and wait fer the results

haha i think thats how its done
