Vermont Approved Sibling DNA Test
(includes DNA kit, free rush shipping both ways, lab processing for 2 siblings, 100% accurate results )
The scope of this variety of study is to establish paternity (in most cases) when the alledged father is not feasable for DNA testing. It is also usually when the mother is not convinced and does not want to collect the father’s DNA. Each state has different laws regarding paternity, and what testing is authorized. If you want to learn more about the paternity laws in Vermont please go to PATERNITY LAWS.
A Home Sibling Test Kit In Vermont 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 findings in Vermont, due to the strict standards required by our partner AABB accredited laboratory. DNA reports from home kits may not be confirmed in a judicial setting however, because there is no nonpartisan verification of whose DNA was contributed. When a chain-of-custody DNA test is done, the DNA specimens 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 confidential information. A legal sibling test will be needed, however, if you want to change a name on the birth certificate, 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 demanding some people to prove the relationship of 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 provides evidence whether two people have the same mother AND father. A exclusionary report will indicate that those testing are half-siblings. This is because the testing is done with the knowledge that it is known that one parent is shared by both individuals. When taking the full-sibling test, you should indicate 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 allows you to determine, if two individuals have 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. You will receive detailed 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.
