Ding Dong - Not Avon!

The door bell rang and I jumped to my feet, although stumbled would be more accurate with my huge belly sticking out pulling me forward. When I opened the door, it was him! The "him" I never wanted to see again, back after being away for months and months. He just stood there staring at me with this silly smirk on his face. God, I loved him, but I hated him...our relationship had always been this way, but since the pregnancy, I more hated him than loved him.

"So, it's true, you are pregnant," he suggested as if he never doubted it. I snapped, "You're mamma didn't raise any stumps, did she?" He threw his head back and laughed a great deep roaring laugh. I smile, I never could resist his laugh or his humour, which is what, put me here - pregnant and alone, for the most part.

"So, what's we gonna do about it," his very next question infuriated me. I replied, "We ain't doing nothing about it. I am having the baby and that is all there is to it."

"Now wait a damn minute," he snarled. "Is it mine?" I didn't answer, as he knew it was and I couldn't rightfully lie, now could I?

Finally, as he stood waiting, I said, "No, it is mine!" "Well, see about that," he replied and stormed out the door.

About a week later, there he was again, banging on my door, demanding to be let inside. I opened the door, and screamed, as I was in labour and waiting for a ride to the hospital. He quickly scooped me up and tossed me into the passengers seat, and then proceeded to try and kill us both as he drove like a man possessed to the closest hospital, entering and demanding that I be seen right bloody now.

I was wheeled away at that point, so much in pain; I could have cared less who he was. About three hours later, the baby was born... a lovely little boy, and I was rolled to a rest. I was beat, but extremely happy.

Later, when they brought the baby in to see me, yeah, he was still there, he pulled out a home paternity test kit and said, "Ok, so now we will see what the truth of this matter is", and proceeded to follow the direction supplied. Everything he needed was in the kit. I asked him how much it cost and he said a mere $199.00, well worth it, as now I would have to admit it was his, and marry him.

I said nothing and he walked out. Soon, he was back, and so were the results of the test. Was he shocked? Nope, the baby was his, and now he had the proof he needed to have the baby put in his name too...which he did, before asking me to marry him.

I said "Definitely .... Yes" and we were married, before leaving the hospital that week.

Shopping for another by Accident!

It was early Friday afternoon, when I went out to purchase another silly BBQ apron for my husband. Each year, he insisted that he get a new one to add to his stupid collection of aprons, which he never wore, but instead decided to decorate the garage with them. It was the dumbest thing I had ever seen, but it made him happy and being, as I love it, it was the least I could do on his birthday.

As I riffled through the aprons on the turning display, nothing struck my fancy, until I spotted something yellow with purple trim and just knew it had to be something special. In, fact I was almost positive it would have the most ridiculous saying of them all. I reached around the stand to give it a spin and grabbed someone else's hand, jumping back. Suddenly, a woman stepped out from the other side, and it was me, I mean she looked like me, I mean damn how could she look like me, although I comforted myself in the fact that she was older than me.

We both started at each other, and then giggled nervously. She spoke first saying, "Wow, we could be sisters." I laughed and said, "Yeah I know eh".

Then we both became serious and didn't know what to do, even though I am sure we both wanted to ask the same questions. Deciding to take the bull by the horns, I blurted out, "Who are your parents"?

She was stunned and said, "I don't know, I was adopted." Well, if that didn't set both our minds to racing and soon we were talking and comparing like school children. She would have been 5 years older than I am, and I was the oldest child of three. We were just too much alike to ignore it, so I suggested that since we were both pretty sure we had to be related somehow, we get one of those home tests and see what happen.

What was the worst that could happen, after all, I would either have a new relative or a new great friend and she felt the same way so we decided to pool our, ooppps, we spent it all shopping money and order in a home test. We exchanged addresses and promised to meet and share memories while we waited for the kit to arrive. We had it mailed to Jenny's home as her children were grown up and on their own, and her husband was away on a business trip.

We met and talked everyday over coffee until the day the kit arrived. It only cost us $590.00 and the test kit came with everything we needed and a great directions. We did the test and sent it away, and within a few days, we knew...

She was my sister by birth. Boy, my parents had some explaining to do, since I wasn't adopted. That was a few weeks ago, and so far I have not had the courage to talk with my parent, but I will someday, but for now I am enjoying having an older sister, who isn't any wiser than me!

Do you want to know for sure if they are your brother or sister? Call www.fastdnatesting.com at 1-888-340-4644.

Who Is She...Could it be?

I celebrated another birthday today, but because my husband had to work, we had my birthday cake and ice cream at lunchtime, instead of dinnertime. I have just turned 33 and this year I seem to be missing that spark that is always around me. I have been down and depressed, but I guess we all get that way sometimes. I am a great believer in writing in my journal and although I am alone, my husband has left for work and my children are not home from school yet, I enjoy the time to reflect on each new entry.

As I sat pondering what to say that would make this day more special than it actually was, I was drawn away by the peal of the doorbell beckoning me to the door. When I opened the door, an elderly woman stood there. She was very tiny and although I didn't recognize her, she had a homey feel about her as I said, "Hello, can I help you?"

For a long time, the elderly woman said nothing; she just stood there staring at me. Then finally, she said, "I am not sure. I think I am your grandmother."

To say you could have knocked me over with a feather would have been an understatement. I replied, "I don't think so ma'am, as all my grandmothers are still very much alive."

"Oh, I am so sorry, but are you sure," the older woman enquired. I replied, "Yes, I am sure." I was just preparing to close the door when she said, "But, the adoption agency said you were my deceased daughter's child".

My chin dropped to the floor and I just stared at her as if she had three heads. How could this be true? Now I was scared and asked myself silently, what if I was? A million things rushed through my head, and then composer returned and I said, "Won't you come in?"

She did and we sat and talked for a long time. I was going to call my mother, but something kept stopping me. I didn't want to hurt her, she was a wonderful mother, so I suggested to the woman that before I do anything to upset anyone in my family, we purchase a home test kit for grandparents and see for sure that it was true. The woman seemed sincere, but I still needed proof. She thought it a good idea too, as she wanted proof as well.

About a week later, Mary returned and we did the test at home, a cost we happily split. The home test was only $499.00 and included everything we needed and directions on what to do with it for processing. We followed the directions to the letter, and then waited. When the results came in, we learned that yes, Mary, was my blood grandmother. Although I was scared to approach the mother I had known all my life, she was relieved that I finally knew the truth and our relationship has flourished, but now we both had another mom, as Mary seemed to adopt my mother, as if she were her own daughter. Now, we are just one big happy family.

Do Grandparents have Rights In Arizona?

Divorce is a very sad time for the families. When couples are broken up, children are pulled away from sanctity of a two-parent home. Sadly it is not uncommon that only one stable parent remains in their lives. Just about everyone would agree that the children need to see both divorced parents as much as possible providing the non-custodial parent is not a threat to the child's well being in any way.

However, less concern has been giving to the grandparents. Our society is so focused on the nuclear family there seems to be no need for the extended family.

Yet, a child's emotional health goes beyond the physical evidence of parentage. You do not limit a child's love to who is defined as the father in a paternity test. There are both the maternal and paternal grandparents who love the child and often time have been a crucial part of their young lives.

Legally speaking the rights of the grandparents must be balanced with the rights of the parents. Not all grandparents are a good influence in the child's life, especially if they become vindictive after a divorce and fill the children's heads with ideas that their parent from the opposite side of the family is mean, or lacking in anyway.

Then again, there are the custodial parents who may feel that because there was a need to divorce their spouse that should also include divorcing the grandparents as well. Children should never be in the middle of vindictive divorce squabbles.

How then can grandparents exercise their rights to see the children they love so very much? DNA testing does not usually afford any special rights for grandparents.

Though parental DNA testing is fairly accurate it becomes less accurate for siblings or each generation removed. The reason for that of course is the extended gene pool and the multiple variations that will occur in the DNA.

Furthermore there are also blended families to consider. Sometimes the estranged ex spouse may have one biological parent but was raised by a step- parent as well. Children do not discriminate about who they love based on a paternity test.

Many grandparents do not know that they can fight for custody or even visitation rights. They do not have to remain silent with a broken heart. Grandparents can gain custodial rights in the State of Arizona. In disputed cases of alleged parentage. Arizona paternity testing may prove to be a factor in grandparent custody or visitation legal battles. Grandparent legal paternity testing can come in useful if the mother claims during divorce proceedings that her spouse was never the biological father in the first place.

Normally the father would be available for testing in such a case however if the case is not about divorce but about visitation rights being taken away from the paternal grandparents after their son died, this would be a worthwhile avenue to pursue in court.

DNA testing alone will not grant visitation or custody rights to the grandparents but it can help solidify their position. Arizona courts will look at all the evidence presented including legal DNA testing to decide what is in the best interest of the children.

Fast DNA Testing is great, because they keep the price down, but the quality high, helping to save money now and in the future. You can get your results and still have money left over!

If you go to their website, you will see three options for testing:

To test at home for personal reasons, you will want to select "Peace of Mind" for $199. With this option, you can administer the test yourself.

You can also go to a local clinic for Peace of Mind testing, but you will see that the "Local Clinic" option will cost $299 for the use of the facility and because it involves a licensed medical practitioner.

If you select "Legal Test", that test is court admissible and it will cost you $399. That is because there is more paperwork and it has to follow a specific process, but you will still find that price to be one of the lowest in the industry.

If you do manage to find a company that charges less for DNA Paternity Tests, be wary and do your homework, because it would be very difficult to offer fast, accurate, quality tests for less.

Balancing Work and Home Life Not Always Easy, But Very Worthwhile in the Long run.

The society we live in is very different from the 1950s where the mother could stay home and the father was the sole income provider. It is the accepted normal for both parents to work. When both parents work or if the household is run by a single parent it is often hard to juggle work life and family life. Often time one is done successfully at the expense of the other. It is necessary to provide a balance of both so that your children grow up happy and healthy. Remember paternal DNA Testing, or Parental DNA testing can prove that you are the biological parent of your child or children but love and nurturing will prove that you are a good parent.

Your children's mental, emotional and physical needs must be met. Of course the physical needs require that they have food, shelter and clothing to wear among other things. This means that even though you might want to spend all day at home with your children, it may not be possible, especially if you are a single parent. Most people have to work to maintain the standard of living they desire.

In many working establishments today DNA testing is required from steroid to drug and alcohol testing. If you are a parent who misses work often because you want to stay at home and drink or take illegal drugs, you have to realize you are not going to keep your job very long and your children will suffer for it. Besides not being able to provide for their monetary needs you are setting a very bad example for them. Children learn from their parents, they learn from every situation they see around them.

On the other hand you might be a workaholic and you spend more time at work than at home. Although the money is good, think about if you really need all that money? Yes it would be nice to give your children everything they would ever ask for and more but is it necessary? Your children need to be with you to share activities with you, to learn from you, to laugh and joke with you. Their mental health is so fragile and the love and time a parent spends with them is just as important as all the things that money can buy.

Balancing work and home is not easy; one of the factors to consider is babysitting. Every parent must decide whether to have family or another individual stay at home with the children or, if they should send the children to a daycare. If you choose a daycare center make sure the employees have undergone DNA testing for drug and alcohol abuse. Similarly, if you go through a qualified domestic childcare agency for home babysitting, you can also inquire that all drug and alcohol testing has been taking care of before that individual is sent to your home. On the other hand, if you select your own babysitter you can ask her to supply a hair DNA sample for drug testing. Home DNA Tests are available for drug and alcohol testing and are simply to do. Isn't a DNA test worth the time to give you peace of mind?

Collecting Child Support and Support Enforcement in New York

Once paternity has been established and the court has issued the Child Support Order, all support payments must be sent to the Child Support Enforcement Unit's (CSEU) collection division - Child Collection Unit (SCU). This unit keeps track of all child support amounts, payments, and transfers to the custodial parent. An Income Execution order (IEX) is sent to the employer so that the support amount is withheld from the employee's pay. The employer also receives information on where the support payments are to be sent. If the employer is not known, the person paying support will be issued billing coupons which are payable to the SCU.

If child support payments fall in arrears, the SCU has several options at its disposal to collect these payments. Administrative enforcement can be collected, without going to court, as they can:

1 Deny you a passport

2 Intercept your unemployment insurance

3 Suspend your driver's license

4 Put a lien on your property

5 Take it from your tax return

6 Take if from lottery winnings

7 Garnishee your wages

8 Put you into collection

But, before any of these actions can be taken, a bill will be sent to the paternal parent explaining his obligations and what actions will be taken to collect the arrears. The person will be provided a date to make the payment by, as failure to comply will put them into a situation that could ruin their credit standing and credibility.

If none of the above actions result in payment, the SCU will file paperwork with the courts for a violation petition and the courts will be asked to enforce the order. Once this happens, the courts can handle it in any of the following methods:

1 Order the offender into a work program

2 Order mandatory money judgements

3 Suspension of licenses - professional, business, or occupational

4 Put the offender on probation

5 Issue jail sentences

It should be noted, paternity testing is very accurate, whether it is a home paternity kit or a court ordered clinic test; therefore, if you even suspect you might be the father, you may want to test at home and save everyone the hassle of court testing.

What do you mean, Maternity Testing?

We have all heard of paternity testing, but these days maternity testing has valid uses as well. Today, maternity testing is done for many situations to help prove or clarify DNA relationship information. Through the television news, we have heard many stories about babies being stolen, mixed up, or abandoned, and maternity tests provide answers these same children may require later in life, if for no other reason than to know their health background.

Often mothers, who are worried about clinics making mistakes with their embryo during in vitro fertilization, ask for these tests just to ensure that the child is theirs.

Another reason that mothers order maternity testing is if they believe there has been a mix up at the hospital and that they may have received the wrong baby to bring home. Hospital staff often requests this test, these days as well, believing they may have mix up the babies identification tags.

Adoption also provides an excellent reason for this test. This test confirms that adopted children have found their biological parents or mother.

DNA maternity tests are like most other DNA tests, there is the one for personal use and the one for legal use. The one used for personal peace of mind, can be purchased online and taken in the privacy of your home.

The DNA maternity test used for legal purposes requires the person to attend an appointment, at a clinic, so they can run a chain of custody on the testing, which is valid in court.

Today, these tests are extremely accurate and reliable which makes finding out who mom is quite simple. Results for either of these tests are generally returned within five days providing complete satisfaction and proof of parentage. After all, we all need our moms, especially now that mother's day is just around the corner.

When is the Best Time to Get a DNA Paternity Test?

A DNA Paternity Test can be performed anytime after the first trimester of pregnancy, but in order to eliminate risks, it is recommended to wait until after the child is born. Once the child is born, a paternity test can be administered at any time without risk to any party. The DNA samples from the potential father, child, and mother are collected using a swab of loose cheek cells from each party, which can be gathered at any time, from the comfort of your own home or in a medical facility. 

If the test is to be used for legal purposes, it must be administered in a medical facility and it is advisable to request a DNA Paternity Test within 60 days and no longer than 300 days after the birth to either eliminate the possibility of rescission (refusal of parentage) or in order to deny parentage with minimal legal complications. After this period, however, a DNA Tests can still be requested (often court-ordered) and will be just as certain in determining the child's parentage. 

If the request is for peace of mind; for example, in the case that a father wants to know his biological relationship to the child without changing the legal status, any time is a good time to do this. If you use FAST DNA TESTING for your test, all test results will be delivered with utmost confidentially and are processed by their labs within 48 hours of receiving your samples.

Why Do I Need a DNA Paternity Test?

A DNA Paternity Test involves a collection of DNA samples from the potential father, child, and usually the mother, in order to prove the father's parentage. The test can be useful to a mother or potential father for a number of reasons, the most common occurring when there is doubt about a partner's fidelity and more often when a child support settlement is involved. Other reasons for obtaining the test include various legal disputes, such as immigration, inheritance, and custody, in which it is beneficial to the case to provide proof of paternity. Furthermore, even if a father has voluntarily acknowledged his child, DNA testing can help ensure that paternity will not be overturned in the future!

DNA Paternity Testing is an important tool in establishing a child's right to benefits he or she can receive only through the father, such as child support, insurance, veterans' and social security benefits, and more. Additionally, legal paternity can determine what role the father will have in the child's life, i.e. visitation or the right to major parental decisions.

Whatever the reason, a DNA Paternity Test is a quick and effective way to provide accurate, guaranteed answers for both legal and personal matters.

Child Support Services in New York

Children who are born to parent who are not married have no relationship, legal, with their fathers. Therefore, in order to collect support in New York, a legal relationship must be established either by completing a voluntary paternity test or by filing a petition at the courthouse. To file a petition, documents must be completed and submitted and child support staff at the New York State Division of Child Support Enforcement, (DCSE) are more than willing to assist the parent with this paperwork. If there are questions about the father, one or both of the parents can file a petition with the courts for a paternity test to assist in correctly identifying the child's father. This testing is accurate and uses genetic markers or DNA testing.

Once the father is identified, local support workers will assist the custodial parent to petition the court to obtain a support order for the child. Child support staff at the DCSE will also investigate the father's income and assets through employers, banks, and computer searches using State Wage Reporting System (WRS), the state and federal income tax offices, as well as the New Hire Reporting System, to determine the father's ability to pay.

Once it is determined, the father can pay, the case is taken to family court. The court is essential in the decision about how much the father can afford to pay, and how much support to issue in the Child Support order. The courts use a guideline, which is standardized, based on gross income and how many children are involved or in need of support.

To arrive at the support figure, the court multiples the father's gross income by the percentages listed below:

1 17% - one child

2 25% - two children

3 29% - three children

4 31% - four children

5 35% minimum - five children or more.

On top of these figures, the court adds a percentage as well for childcare, educational expenses, and medical expenses, which then equals the child support amount required to be paid by the father. This applies to gross incomes up to $80,000.00/year. For fathers with gross incomes over $80,000.00/year, it is at the courts discretion whether to use the percentage guidelines or not.

Please note: The courts may introduce other factors into the calculations to settle the final Child Support Award, in either situation, under $80,000.00 gross income/year, or over $80,000.00 gross income/year.

So, before being forced into a situation where you are required to do legal testing for the courts, why not offer to take a home paternity test to ensure it is yours, before she approaches the courts with a request for legal action. This way, both you and the baby's mother are sure whether you are the father, or are not the father. Home Paternity Tests are available for as little as $199.00 and contain everything you need to take the test in the comfort of your home.

She Says It Could Be Mine?

The other day my new girlfriend and I were sitting in a restaurant enjoying a nice quiet lunch when a girl I dated a year or so ago walked in. She was carrying a baby in her arms and she passed by without a word, which I found strange since we parted on good terms. What was even stranger was that I had not heard she was pregnant and had a child, in fact, as far as I knew she wasn't even dating anyone.

I finished my lunch with my girlfriend, but the whole time my mind was on my old girlfriend and the baby in her arms and I began to add up the months, to conclude that the baby could very well be mine. At first, I wasn't sure what to do and although my new girlfriend and I hadn't built a real bond yet, I didn't want to destroy what I had started with her. So, after lunch, I walked my girlfriend to her car and walked away as if returning to work, but once her car had pulled out into traffic returned to the restaurant to seek out my old girlfriend and the baby.

At her table, I approached the topic with caution asking her first if it was her baby, as I really didn't know for sure, but suspected so, then asking her who the father was. It was at this point she hesitated and I knew she thought it was I. I was stunned by the revelation and asked, "You think it is me?"

She didn't answer right away and when she did all she said was it could be and then began to bundle the baby up, getting ready to leave. I asked why she didn't tell me she was pregnant and she answered that she wasn't sure it was mine and that she had heard I had a new girlfriend by the time she found out and really didn't want to go through it all with me.

I said "What all, you know I love babies and if it is mine I want to be a father and make sure it has everything it needs. Can't we find out for sure and then make the necessary arrangements after we know?"

She said she supposed we could order a home Paternity Tests and do it at her home, if I didn't mind popping around sometime. A couple days later, I agreed to pay for the home paternity test, and we ordered it online for $199.00. When it arrived, we met at my old girlfriend's home and opened the paternity home testing kit to find it had everything we need to do the test. It was simple and came with easy to follow instructions. We did the test and sent it off, then waited for the results.

Sadly, I was not the baby's father! Now, I had peace of mind and I knew for sure. These great home tests are 99.9% accurate, tested twice at the lab, to guarantee accuracy.

Zygosity Testing for Twins

Sometimes twins try to play tricks on us. Some identical twins act as if they are fraternal, while some fraternal twins appear to act more like identical twins, but how can you be sure?

Usually the distinction is made at birth as identical twins share a placenta, while fraternal twins do not, although the opposite has been known to happen in rare instances. This occurs because identical twins are created from one fertilized egg, known as a zygote, that splits and forms two embryos, while fraternal twins occur when individual sperms fertilize two eggs during ovulation, and because of the different egg and sperm, they share some DNA from their parents, but they have different DNA, as well.

By using a Twin Zygosity test, you can determine whether the twins are fraternal or identical. These tests can also be used for health reasons as well, if one of the twins requires tissue or organ transplants, as the results can determine whether the other twin is a suitable match or donor, although identical twins, as you might have guessed, are wonderful matches.

When running Zygosity testing both twins are tested, in the privacy of your home, using a home testing kit. This kit is convenient and reliable and consists of a cotton buccal swab and envelopes to do the test. All you do is run the cotton swab along the inside of the cheek and carefully insert it into the provided envelope. Once this is done, you simply ship it back to the company for testing. Usually test results are returned within five business days and will provide you with peace of mind by reliably answering the tough questions.

It is important to note that these tests might also be required, upon occasion, as evidence in legal situation, but can only be used if a chain of custody is followed. A legal twin Zygosity test will provide you with results that will hold up in court and are often taken to establish custody and inheritance matters.

Today, you can order a home Zygosity Testing Kit for as little as $399.00. These great home tests are 99.9% accurate, tested twice at the lab, to guarantee accuracy.

Forensic Testing In Rape and Incest Cases

Rape and incest cases are still happening on a daily basis throughout North America resulting in babies being born with identified fathers. Unfortunately, since these criminal acts often result in conception, forensic testing must be done to determine the legal paternity of the father; thereby, providing necessary evidence allowing charges to be pressed against them that will stand up in court. For the purpose of forensic testing, in rape and incest cases, various samples are collected and processed including blood, semen, buccal swab from inside the cheek, or foetal tissues. These samples must maintain a sterile chain of custody and documentation must be accurate throughout the testing. Because of the sensitive nature of this crime, and because of the fear of wrongful conviction, all samples are tested twice to ensure accuracy. Today, forensic testing often exceeds the courts requirements, as well as the requirements of the FBI, which often asks for extended testing, which can be used to support paternity test results. At the crime scene, if stains are located on bed or bath linens, clothing of any type, or feminine products, the stains can be tested for evidence of semen. If semen is found then a detection test can be done to find out if there is any usable DNA to conduct a comparison forensic test. Semen testing today is so refined that it can separate out female DNA in a rape or incest case, from male DNA, leaving no doubt, which the offending male was. The only time semen evidence is allowed, other than by hospital testing, or by an unbiased third party, is if an officer has collected the evidence at the crime scene following the correct collection procedures. Other than that, this testing is not acceptable by the courts. Paternity testing is designed to identify the father, not matter what the situation is, and are rated as 99.9% accurate; therefore, it leaves little wiggle room for the offending male to walk away uncharged once identified in a forensic DNA test as the father of the child..

How is Baby Selling Different from Legal Adoption?

Baby selling refers to the illegal practice of selling one's own baby or acting as an agent to negotiate a deal and sell a newborn for the birth parent or parents. Even though baby selling is illegal you will still find people who are willing to sell a baby for profit and of course the individuals who are desperate enough to buy them. Baby selling is not to be confused with legal adoptions.

A legal adoption is a procedure where each state will grant all legal rights and responsibilities to the adoptive parents. These adoptions go through a court appointed agency with strict regulations throughout the process. There are two types of legal adoptions; open and shut. Each state will decide on accepting both or only one form of adoption.

In an open adoption the parents have a right to choose the adoptive parents for their newborn. Whereas in closed adoptions they forfeit all rights as a parent and the child is taken from them and put up for adoption. Some states allow payment in exchange for health and medical fees that the pregnant mothers incurs, while other states do not allow any direct payment from the adoptive parent to the biological parent. Many times the adoption agency or adoption lawyer will handle all legal fees. Having said that sometimes lawyers and adoption agencies are accused of baby selling in the USA if the fees they charge seem to be well above the norm.

There are no safeguards with baby selling. Often time the child is sold to the highest bidder. There is nothing open about the adoptions. These financial transactions are usually done underground so that no criminal charges can be laid upon the buyer or seller. Don't be fooled by the fact that the mediator appears to be part of an agency. Check out that agency first to make sure it is legal. Once the baby is sold the parent will not know anything about the baby from that point forward. The new parents do not know anything about where the baby came from, any illness in the family or other things that might affect the baby's health. If the baby was stolen from their parents in a third world country that is not known either.

Fortunately there are safeguards in place for a legitimate adoption. Any child entering the USA must pass the USCIS processing rules for immigration before allowed entrance. It is not known how much baby selling actually goes on in the USA and from which sources the infant is coming from. If you are a person wanting to adopt a baby, make sure you do it legally. Bending the rules will not help you to have a baby faster because you may feel you do not qualify for adoption under the conventional channels. It would not be wise to negotiate with a stranger advertising in an underground newspaper or website. You do not know these people, there is no legal investigation done to see if the pregnancy is even legitimate or if these people are just trying to make money. With a real adoption agency you will know that that there is a pregnancy through a mandatory pregnancy test. Other DNA testing will be done to insure the baby is healthy, such as drug and alcohol DNA Testing for indigent women, ultrasounds, many even amniocentesis in case there are any serious illness in the family, back ground checks, health records and more. Play it safe, do it right and wait for your perfect baby!

Non-Traditional Fathers: It is more than a Biological Connection

It takes more to be a father than the biological connection found on a paternal DNA test. Fathers have a very important role in their children's lives. This role includes taking part in their educational, emotional, and spiritual lives. The law is clear that a biological father as determined by paternal DNA Testing is responsible for child support but the actual custody of the child might be completely in the hands of the biological mom, especially where divorce or single parenting is concerned.

Non-traditional fathers include divorced fathers with visitation or custody rights and divorced fathers who are estranged from their children. Howevera, non-traditional fathers can also be stepfathers, live in or live out boyfriends, men who became fathers through adoption or foster care, stay at home dads, divorced dads, single dads raising children on their own, grandfathers, and dads raising both their own children and children the mother had from a previous relationship. The possibilities of fathering are limited less. Wherever there is a man taking care of a child that man should have the right to be a father if he wishes to be labeled as one.

One group of non-traditional dads who have made quite of lot of media attention is the homosexual couple, where two male partners claim fatherhood. Again one of these men may very well be the legal father that can easily be proven by a home paternity test, or a legal paternity DNA test, however in this new area of non-traditional parenting many gray areas arise.

What happens when a homosexual couple breakup and the non-biological Dad is now denied child visitations? This area of the law has not been addressed. For the most part, homosexual partners do not have legal rights. Same sex marriages used to be recognized in the state of California but is now overturned (by proposition 8). Massachusetts allows same sex marriage, Vermont, Connecticut, Washington, Oregon, New Hampshire, and New Jersey also allows same sex unions and marriages. While certain states such as New York, Iowa, and the District of Columbia recognizes out of state same sex marriages, only. There is no standard policy put forth for any non-traditional same sex father.

Barring legal issues, there is no difference between these non-traditional fathers and the divorced biological father counterparts who lose their right to be with their child. Love is love; it is not defined solely on the basis of a parental DNA connection or a legal definition. Non-traditional parents hurt just as much as any biological parent and many are actually better parents in the long run.

Do All Men Take Advantage of Paternity Leave?

It has long been established that women in the workforce are entitled to maternity leave. The time for delivering and staying with the baby afterwards is established by law and over and above that minimum time allotted, certain companies give additional time as part of their employee benefits package. However, the needs of the father to take time out to help his wife and care for their newborn are a fairly recent occurrence. The Family and Medical Act of 1993 established the guidelines for paternal leave in the United States.

Having said that, many fathers cannot afford to take paternity leave. Unlike other countries that pay a part or the entire salary for paternity leave, fathers in the USA can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid paternity leave. Suffice to say that means men earning higher incomes will take more time off than men in lower paying jobs. The State of California became the first state to offer paid parental leave and certain other states such as Oregon, Washington DC, and Vermont are followed suit. A few more states are presently toying with the idea of having parental leave.

Other issues that surface regarding unmarried couples.

Is paternity leave granted to men who have live-in girlfriends or couples who live in separate homes? Because women are visibly pregnant there is no doubt in the employers' minds about the pregnancy. However there is no way of telling just by looking at a man if he is indeed about to become a father. Many men still remain reluctant to take paternity leave even when it is offered to them. Some men feel that taking time off would jeopardize their positions in the company they work for while others feel they will be considered effeminate. Most of these men feel that the culture we live in just does not empathize with men who ask for paternity leave so that they can spend the time they need for the good of their family; away from the work environment.

Unmarried men must establish paternity of the child if they are to claim paternity leave, certain government and medical benefits, settle inheritance issues and more. This procedure is specific and bothersome to a certain extent. They must sign a sworn declaration including their signature and the signature of the mother. They must establish paternity through the court. They must be willing to undergo DNA testing. A legal paternity test can be obtained through a DNA test center. After all of this, if the couples is not in a position to legally marry, the question remains how many men will go through the entire procedure just to claim unpaid paternity leave?

Presumptive Paternity

Paternity testing is not what it use to be. In today's society there are many reasons for paternity testing. These motives for testing might range anywhere from the original question of who is the father to who are the relatives of this child. Possibly the reason might be to find out about the child's heritage. Whatever the reason, paternity testing has become so much more feasible in today's society.

The foremost reason paternity testing is done remains to identify the actual birth father of the child. Courts need the assurance that only a scientific paternity test can provide. Whether it is the mother who wants to get child support from a "dead beat dad" or a father who wants to make sure the child is really his, paternity tests can provide definitive proof. Financial motives force many courts into seeking this course of action.

A child also needs the feeling of permanence, of being provided and cared for. Someone is needed who could be there to give the child stability can be better determined when knowing who the real parents are instead of leaving it to chance. Paternity testing also provides the father a tangible reality knowing he is pouring all of himself into his own flesh and blood. A child also deserves the right to know who his or her biological parents are. Not only for medical reasons that might arise, but also for the pure and simple right to know his or her heritage.

There are times when a child might be relegated to a foster home or the foster care system. This is usually not in the best interest of the child. Paternity tests can be taken from siblings to determine if there is an actual biological parent or relative who can take him or her. Courts know that a blood relative is most of the times the best person to take care of the child, providing the love and security desperately needed in turbulent times. Grandparents can even be tested now to know whether they are actually related to the child, even when the father's DNA is no longer available for testing purposes.

Paternity tests can provide reassurance to each member of the family. They can offer the scientific evidence the courts require to make difficult decisions. Paternity tests give security knowing the heritage and background of the child's family. In times of crises when a child is about to be placed in foster care, a better solution might be possible. Questions of paternity never have to be presumptive any more.

Can Someone Beat a DNA Paternity Test?

There are two answers to the question of whether someone can beat a DNA Paternity Test (in other words, prove it wrong). The first answer is no, under almost any circumstances. The second answer is also no, but with a few conditions and possible exceptions based on the testing standards of the company you went through.

The first answer is simple: If a DNA Paternity Tests was administered and resulted in the exclusion of the father, no matter how many markers (DNA locations) were analyzed, an exclusion is 100% accurate. There is no inherent error in this result. On the other hand, if the company you went through before seemed unprofessional and you feel that there was a mix-up, it might be a good idea to retest with Fast DNA Testing.

The second answer is a bit more complicated. An inclusive result will never be 100% accurate, because there is always the chance that another individual of the same ethnicity may also be a match. If you test with Fast DNA Testing and receive an inclusive result, however, the result you receive is often more than 99.999% accurate, bringing that chance down to less than 0.001%. They send all of their test samples to their partnered laboratory, a leading DNA diagnostic center which routinely tests 16 or more markers. However, if you tested with another company and they tested less than 16 markers, I would suggest retesting with Fast DNA Testing for better accuracy.

Can someone beat a DNA Paternity Testing administered by Fast DNA Testing? With a company and a lab that often provides a 100% accurate exclusion and a more than 99.999% accurate inclusion, plus their experience and professionalism, the answer is most assuredly no.

Why is Grandparentage Testing Done?

Most people are familiar with paternal DNA testing, we have just to turn on the television and tune into shows like Gerry Springer to see the numerous women who claim that a certain man is the father of their child, while that man denies it. Springer orders the testing to find out if the baby belongs to the man or not.

However it is not widely known that grandparentage DNA testing can be done as well. There are several reasons why grandparentage DNA testing would be done. DNA testing is done to determine bloodlines on either parent's side. Grandparentage DNA testing is admissible in court to determine the biological lineage in question.

This type of DNA testing is often done because the male parentage is being questioned. The male in the situation may not be available for testing, a good example of that would be in the case of death. Perhaps the father is incarcerated, away in another country, or refuses to get the test done.

Sometimes the grandparents feel the need to have the testing done when they are uncertain that their son is truly the father of the child. They may feel the wife or girlfriend is manipulating their son in order to get child support. Grandparents can devise ways of obtaining DNA testing without first consulting the parents. When the child is visiting grandma and grandpa, it is very easy for them to take a cotton swab and obtain a DNA sample from the inside of the child's mouth and send it on to a DNA paternity testing laboratory. There is no law against grandparents obtaining DNA testing with or without parental consent. A DNA paternity testing laboratory will fill the request regardless of who asks for it or why.

Sometimes a long lost child will show up on the doorstep of the grandparents after the death of his or her parents. If the grandparents do not know this child they may ask for a DNA test. The same would hold true for any inheritance issues. If the child's legal parentage has not been established, the grandparents may not be willing to leave considerable amounts of money and assets to the child if he or she proves not to be a legal heir.

Grandparentage testing is used in immigration applications when the grandparents are in America and the grandchildren are still in their homeland. Legal DNA testing of this sort is also used in Social Security claims in America.

The grandparent testing must yield a result of higher than 1.00 to justify the likelihood that the grandchild is biologically related. The results of course would be easier to obtain when both grandparents are tested. It is very difficulty to determine the DNA compatibility with only one grandparent though both tests are offered. The biological testing of one grandparent cannot determine to any degree of accuracy the bloodlines with half the genetic information missing. This type of grandparentage DNA testing can only determine if that grandparent is not related.

Deoxyribonucleic Acid: What Makes Your DNA Special?

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) happens to be a chemical, a nucleic acid, which is at the basis of every living thing. Certain bacteria and viruses also contain DNA. The DNA material is contained in two large molecules or strands (helix) that intertwine into what is known as a double helix. The nucleotides (units) contained on these long polymers consist of sugars and phosphates and within some of the sugars is the information that carries or codifies everything that makes us who we are. These pieces of information are called genes and genes determine what we look like on the outside for all to see and even what is happening on the inside. Our DNA or genetic makeup can influence certain psychological factors such as personality traits, or aptitude in certain areas. DNA is special because it is at the basis of who we are. More importantly our DNA is unique to us.

No other human being on the planet shares the exact same DNA formation. We get part of our DNA makeup from our parents. However, even though our parents pass on their genes to their offspring they do not pass the exact formation on to every child. Despite being closely related, we still have our own special formation of DNA. That is why siblings in the same family can look very similar or very different depending upon the pattern of genes passed on to them at the time of conception.

It is because our DNA is so unique that DNA testing can yield some very accurate results. DNA testing can identify criminals who were present at a crime, or it can prove the guilt or the innocence of individuals suspected of committing a crime. Forensic DNA testing determine human and animal DNA, it test samples of DNA extracted from the elements for health purposes, it determine steroid or alcohol and drug use and so much more. Legal DNA testing is permissible as evidence in courts.

DNA samples can be taken from anywhere on the body; skin cells, hair follicles, semen and more. DNA samples are important to answer many of the questions we need answered in our everyday lives. Parental DNA testing can determine if missing children who are found many years later are related to a couple, while forensic DNA testing is used in rape cases, and for paternity issues.

Paternal DNA testing as well as hair DNA testing and other forms of DNA testing can be done almost anywhere. Men can have their samples tested at a Paternity test center, or send it directly to a DNA paternity testing laboratory. There is also a home paternity testing kit. Interested individuals who need DNA testing for a myriad of reasons can obtain information about an online paternity test as well.

What is DNA Banking?

All things considered, not all that weird, DNA keeping money is precisely what it sounds like. It is the procedure of social event a persons DNA and putting away it securely away for later utilize. Something like a sperm bank where you can go in and make one or more stores that are put away until the customer pulls back his/her DNA. For the most part, these withdrawals are made for DNA testing purposes. A few organizations trust that everybody ought to bank their DNA with more than one establishment or organization offer this administration for included security. Since DNA is most usually collected from platelets, body cells, or cheek cells it can be kept money inconclusively. My comprehension is that you can bank DNA anytime in your life, yet it is trusted that the best time to bank it is directly after an infant is conceived with blood from the umbilical string as this should be possible effortlessly, without mischief to the infant. Other than the string and placenta are hurled in the refuse after the birth, so why not gather what you can and save it for future use. DNA keeping money, on the off chance that you are elderly or incessantly sick, if of specific significance, as once passing happens and your remaining parts have been disposed of, it is troublesome, despite the fact that not inconceivable, to acquire a specimen for testing. Through DNA managing an account you can find and recognize persons, to find missing youngsters, or to decide paternity or maternity after a guardian has passed on. The one thing that is ensured in life, other than death and charges, seems, by all accounts, to be the way that a kid's DNA stays steady for the duration of their life. DNA, as most different things, should be stores in perfect conditions so it keeps up its uprightness and can be utilized numerous years into what's to come. This will guarantee that ought to a crisis circumstance emerge, the DNA test could even now help relative or law implementation endeavors in finding a missing adored one.

Some Reasons for Pregnancy Testing

Becoming a mother can be the most amazing thing in the world, or it can also be one of the most devastating as well. There are women who plan to have children and then there are women who don't. Either way it is better to know as soon as possible whether or not a baby is on the way.

If the woman is pregnant there are different things going on in the body that will give an indication, such as a lost period. However, women can cease to menstruate for various reasons. Hormone fluctuations will cause other early signs including tender breasts, vomiting, dizziness, and vertigo. If any of these signs occur it would be wise to get a pregnancy test right away, so if the woman wants to keep the baby she will begin a healthy regime under the care of a doctor. If she does not want to keep the baby and is deciding on aborting it the sooner the procedure is done the better for all concerned.

Sometimes women want to keep the baby but have been with several partners and it would require that the males in question take a DNA paternity test to determine the father.

Again, it would be important for the male partners to get a paternity test if the woman is single and is planning on keeping the baby since she will want child support. Men, who are uncertain that they are the true fathers of the baby, may refuse testing claiming the baby is not theirs or they may demand testing to assure that the baby is theirs before they agree to support the child. Sometimes certain men may not believe the woman is pregnant at all. They may believe she is just trying to manipulate them into marriage. This may occur in situations where they men are rich or in high profile positions. They too might ask for a pregnancy test before entering into a premature marriage.

In terms of surrogacy the family who cannot conceive will often require a pregnancy test to determine legitimacy of the pregnancy. Home pregnancy tests are easy and affordable. The better quality home pregnancy tests can indicate a pregnancy the day after sexual intercourse. If the woman tests positive she will need to be seen by a doctor. On the other hand, if the pregnancy test is negative yet she is experiencing some symptoms of pregnancy again she must see a doctor to determine if the pregnancy test was erroneous or she has some other undiagnosed medical condition. Often time especially in the case of surrogacy the legal parents to be will require a professional pregnancy test done at a hospital or DNA test center.

The Many Uses For Forensic DNA Testing

Forensic DNA Testing is so important in the legal field and has helped solved many crimes. Forensic DNA testing has made leaps and bounds in the last century, though it is still not an exact science, with enough DNA test samples available it is pretty accurate.

In the early part of the 20th century the only tools police investigators had to determine the evidence left at a crime screen was to dust for fingerprints. Of course once the criminals realized they could be identified in that way they made certain they wiped away their prints so nothing could be traced backed to them. Now, even though not every criminal is caught and placed behind bars a good number of them are apprehended based on DNA testing.

Forensic DNA testing requires the analysis of thirteen different specters often called loci. Different loci will be tested depending upon the actual DNA data extracted from the crime scene. This composite of DNA test samples is actually quite accurate in pin pointing the individual bearing that genetic composition. The result of the sampling is referred to as the individual's DNA footprint.

Forensic scientists use DNA testing for a number of jobs. The first reason of course is to identify a criminal from the evidence left behind, while another reason could be to determine the identification of a corpse who was murdered or a victim of a natural disaster such as an avalanche or drowning. Forensic DNA testing is used in paternity DNA testing, pregnancy and DNA testing for victims of rape.

There are other interesting and widely unknown uses for Forensic DNA testing such as detecting bacterial and other pollutants in air, soil, and water supplies. Legal DNA testing is used in identifying poachers from the carcasses of trapped or dead animals. DNA testing is used to authenticate certain foods. For example in 2007, DNA testing was used to prove that a Japanese restaurant was serving tilapia and passing it off as red snapper.

Forensic DNA testing has helped so many people in so many ways, from bringing criminals to justice to releasing innocent people from incarceration. Forensic DNA plays a vital role in matching organ donors for transplant. Animal breeders rely on DNA testing to authenticate pedigrees and farmers use DNA testing for livestock breeding.

Archeologists use DNA testing to uncover the unidentified individuals of the past such as ancient Pharaohs. Forensic DNA testing is used to identify lost Holocaust survivors. There are many uses for forensic DNA testing and It is safe to say that DNA Laboratory testing is used in almost every facet of life.
