DNA Test

gjs6385

Hi,

Is there anyway that I can send my DNA to be tested to confirm if I have any potential unknown children?

Thanks.

How are you going to get DNA from anybody else?

I didn’t know if DNA of babies were registered or something like that.

The answer to that is No

It may feel with live in a BB state, but we haven't gone that far............Yet

Ok fair enough thank you.

No, the DNA of new born children isn't registered in the UK. The Police wish that it was because it would make investigating crime very much easier!

If you send your DNA to a service like AncestryUK, if any children you have fathered send their DNA for analysis, you might be contacted then. If a child is aware that their father is not know to them, they are more likely to use a service like AncestryUK.

No.


Obviously not.


Seriously?

This is the fault of TV programs & adverts giving the impression of vast centralised DNA databases.



As far as I'm aware organizations that do harvest DNA have pitiful amounts when compared to the population as a whole.

No, unless they are adults and have also done one with the same service ie ancestry DNA, then there is no way

If you feel you have unknown children, there must be something that has put this in your head. Ask your Ex

Be carful what you wish for, you may end up having to pay a load of backdated child support.

Given maintenance cannot be backdated that would be interesting...
