Maternity Testing
Maternity DNA testing determines whether the woman tested is the biological mother of the child tested. It works like a DNA paternity test, except this analysis compares a child’s DNA profile with their mother’s.
Why Maternity Testing?
There are several common reasons women choose to test maternity, including proof of maternity for immigration, to prove a relationship between an adoptee and a biological mother, and more.
Results are completely confidential, and your private genetic information is never shared with or sold to outside parties.
