Are You My Mommy? In rare cases (think switched at birth), confirmation may be needed to determine the biological mother of a child. DNA maternity testing reveals those results in these rare cases.
Specimen collections for this type of test require a non-invasive cheek swab collection from the child and the alleged mother.
Because of the rare instances for this type of DNA test, only a Legal Test is performed. Therefore, legal, government issued, photo identification is required for all participants. If a child does not have photo identification, a birth certificate, social security card or medical card with the child’s name should be produced.
