Maternity Testing
A maternity test determines the biological relationship between a child and a tested woman. It is often used to confirm biological relationships in adoption and other situations in which a child and mother were separated at birth or early childhood, and were later reunited.
Tested Parties
The child and alleged mother can be tested with or without the father. Because DNA is inherited in equal parts from both parents, participation of the father aids in accounting for half of the child’s DNA. However, Beta Paternity can give accurate, reliable results even without the father’s participation.
Sample Collection
We will send you a Beta Self-Collection™ kit containing everything you need to collect DNA samples. Sample collection is painless and simple. You will use buccal swabs, which are like long cotton swabs, to collect loose cheek cells by rubbing against the inner cheek. For more details, please visit the sample collection page.
If you require a test for immigration, Social Security, or other legal purposes, please visit the legal testing option page. While convenient and private, sample collection using the Beta Self-Collection™ kit does not follow the Chain of Custody collection procedure needed for DNA test results to be accepted in courts and other government agencies. This procedure requires you to go to an appointment to have your samples collected by an unbiased third party, usually a trained professional.
