Texas Approved Sibling DNA Test
(includes DNA kit, free rush shipping both ways, lab processing for 2 siblings, 100% accurate results )
The purpose of this sort of DNA study is to establish paternity (in most cases) when the potential father is not available for DNA testing. It is also commonly when the mother is not convinced and does not want to collect the father’s DNA. Each state has various laws regarding paternity, and what tests are permitted. If you want to learn more about the paternity laws in Texas please go to PATERNITY LAWS.
A Home Sibling Test Kit In Texas Has No Regulations, Unlike Some Other States.
A DNA sibling test can be completed for either peace-of-mind, or for court or other other legal reasons. There is no difference in the outcome in Texas, due to the strict standards used by our partner AABB accredited laboratory. DNA findings from home kits may not be accepted in court however, because there is no nonpartisan demonstation of whose DNA was provided. When a chain-of-custody DNA test is completed, the DNA samples are collected by a experienced professional collector who can verify the identity of those being tested. Most of the time when a paternity test with siblings is done, it is for private reasons. A legal sibling test will be needed, however, if you want to change a name on the birth record, apply for Social Security benefits for a child, have a probate issue, or for immigration reasons. It also may be of interest to know that the I.R.S. has been requiring some people to validate their dependents by the use of DNA testing.
Know The Difference Between A Half-Sibling Test And A Full-Sibling Test.
A full-sibling test demonstrates whether two individuals are bioligically related with the same mother AND father. A exclusionary result will show that those testing are half-siblings. This is because the testing is done with the idea that it is known that one parent is shared by both people. When taking the full-sibling test, you should let us know which one of the parents you are certain you have in common (the mother or the father) and which of the parent you are uncertain about.
A half-sibling DNA test helps you to get the answer, if two possible siblings share a biological father or mother in common, or if they are not genetically related to each other as siblings. A half-sibling test will not be able to tell you if those testing are a full-siblings. When ordering the half-sibling test, you must always state which one of the parents you are sure you do not have in common, the father or the mother, and which of the parents you might have in common.
How Is The DNA Collected?
DNA collection is done with buccal (cheek) swabs and is actually more accurate than using a blood sample for DNA testing. There areWe provide step-by-step instructions for collecting samples inside the Journey Genetic Testing sibling test kit. The entire process will take less than 15 minutes, and they you can return it to our lab in the prepaid FedEx overnight package included as part of your kit.
