Maternity.
DNA Testing.
Maternity DNA testing can confirm in the material relationship for immigration, prove and adoptees with their biological birth mother, and more.
Are You My Mother?
​
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. Even if the father is not tested, Truth DNA can prove conclusively whether or not the child’s DNA matches the mother. The report is posted to your secure online account 1-2 business days after all samples have been received at the lab.
