Maternity Testing

Two women lying on grass, with their heads close together, smiling and enjoying each other's company.

Maternity DNA testing determines whether the woman tested is the biological mother of the child tested. It works like a DNA paternity test, except this analysis compares a child’s DNA profile with their mother’s.

Why Maternity Testing?

There are several common reasons women choose to test maternity, including proof of maternity for immigration, to prove a relationship between an adoptee and a biological mother, and more.

Results are completely confidential, and your private genetic information is never shared with or sold to outside parties.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Once all samples have been received at the lab, results for a maternity test are posted to a secure online account in 2-3 business days.

    Next-day and same-day results are also available for an additional fee—call one of our experts at (508) 443-1428 for requirements.

  • When doing a home test for peace of mind and personal knowledge, you collect your own DNA at home, using the collection kit we send you. For legally-admissible testing, one of our specialists sets up a witnessed DNA-collection appointment on your behalf at an approved facility near you.

  • Yes, you can definitely get DNA collected in separate locations. We understand that not all test participants live in the same area, so one of our specialists will either:

    (1) Send DNA-collection materials to separate addresses for a home test

    (2) Make appointments on your behalf at separate DNA-collection facilities for a legal test.
