Wisconsin Approved Sibling DNA Test
(includes DNA kit, free rush shipping both ways, lab processing for 2 siblings, 100% accurate results )
The scope of this type of study is to determine paternity (in most cases) when the possible biological father is not feasable for DNA testing. It is also as a rule done discreetly when the mother is not certain and does not want to collect the father’s DNA. Each state has distinct laws regarding paternity, and what testing is recognized. If you want to learn more about the paternity laws in Wisconsin please go to PATERNITY LAWS.
A Home Sibling Test Kit In Wisconsin Has No Restrictions, Unlike Some Other States.
A DNA sibling test can be conducted for either peace-of-mind, or for court or other other legal reasons. There is no difference in the DNA report in Wisconsin, due to the stringent standards required by our partner AABB accredited laboratory. DNA findings from home kits may not be endorsed for use in a judicial setting however, because there is no unbiased proof of whose DNA was taken. When a legal DNA test is completed, the DNA samples are collected by a trained professional collector who can authenticate the identity of those being tested. Most of the time when a paternity test with siblings is done, it is for confidential verification. 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 requiring 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 indicates whether two or more persons have the same mother AND father. A exclusionary result will indicate that those testing are half-siblings. This is because the testing is done with the understanding that it is understood 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 sure you have in common (the mother or the father) and which of the parent you are uncertain about.
A half-sibling DNA test enables you to to resolve the question, if two persons 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 provide an answer if those testing are a full-siblings. When taking the half-sibling test, you should 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 is collected with buccal (cheek) swabs and is actually more accurate than using a blood sample for DNA testing. You will receive step-by-step directions 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.
