How do doctor's find out that you are the actual mother of your child?

Question

Few year ago, someone we don't know had stolen my wife's identity. Somewhere somehow the perp who stole my wife's identity had found out that we have given birth to our first child. Now, we get a phone call from her lawyer saying that she is suing for stealing her daughter when obviously it's our daughter not hers. I know that DNA will give us a proof that our daughter belongs to my wife and I, but my question is, "How do doctor's find out that the daughter belongs to my wife?" Do they draw blood from my wife and daughter?" Please explain how this works.

Note: It's not surprising that this perp is telling everyone that our daughter is hers afterall she claimed that all the credit card accounts that my wife had the perp claimed that it was her credit card and that my wife was her perpetrator. ID thieves are total retards.

Answer 1

They can swab the inside of their mouths - blood doesn't have to be drawn.

Answer 2

DNA will tell the truth.

Answer 3

DNA testing.  They can test for maternity the exact same way they test for paternity-it just usually is not necessary to have a paternity test.  The test will be done via either a buccal (cheek) swab, or blood draw.  THey will need samples from both the mother and the baby.

This criminal is quite brave.  Are you serious?  If I were you, I would contact the police and a lawyer ASAP.  The situation regarding the child is of utmost importance, but if you have not already done so you need to contact all of the credit bureaus, etc.

Answer 4

yeah, they compare the DNA from blood samples from you, your wife, and your child, and certain parts match up to prove that you two are the mother and father of the child in question

Answer 5

Yes, they will draw blood.  I have heard many horro stories about identity theft, but have never heard of child theft to boot.  I hope everything works out for you.  I do know that getting your identiy straightened out and your credit back on track in a case like that can take years and hours and hours of foot work and phone calls.  I feel very sorry for you and wish you all the best.

Answer 6

shouldnt need blood i think they could do this with a mouth swab.....

good luck thats insaneeeeee!!!

Answer 7

when i first read your ? I thought WTF! But yeah they can either do a blood test or they do dna test by mouth swabs now. This other lady I hope she goes down for a long time for this ****.

Answer 8

There are 2 kinds of DNA... The kind that follows the mother's and the kind that follows the father's...

It will be a VERY easy test... You may not even need blood... A cheek swab or or even a few strands of hair are all you should need...

Answer 9

Have a DNA test done.

Answer 10

DNA test. They swab the cheeks.

Answer 11

They do saliva tests now.  Just a swab in the cheek.  A GYN can also check the uterus.  When a child has been in there, there is an indentation left.  If the imposter has never been pregnant, there will be no indentation in her uterus.

Answer 12

they will probably just take a saliva sample!!  maybe blood??

I cant believe that is happeneing to you guys,,,thats very scary!!  you just keep that baby close to you, there are sooo many flippin crazies out there....good luck with everything, but once you have a test done its will all be ok!!

Answer 13

dna testing.. http://www.dnatesting.com/

Answer 14

, all they do is swab the inside of the mouth of your wife and the child and test it. the process is totally painless.

Answer 15

dna

Answer 16

If it does go to court yes all it will take is a paternity test. There are mentally unstable people out there that do things like this. I heard of a lady that filed suit on someone else for having the same name....it was noting more than a hudge financial expense.

Answer 17

They will more than likely take a swab and sweep the inside of your cheek.  That is a really crappy situation you are in!  This person has alot of free time lol

Answer 18

blood test?

Answer 19

buccal swab is the most likely sample they will need.  swab the inside of their cheeks.  good luck.

Answer 20

d.n.a test!!

Answer 21

they take blood samples and look for similar DNA

Answer 22

They take blood samples from the baby and from the possible mother.

Answer 23

How sickening!  I am sorry that your family is going through this.  The inside of your child, wife's and "perps" mouths will be swabbed and evaluated for DNA.

Answer 24

they can do it either with a blood test or they will just swab around in there mouths to get saliva and skin cells from there mouths and send it to the lab. thats all.
