Maternity Testing
A maternity test works a lot like a paternity test. You can perform a maternity test to determine if a woman is a child’s biological mother. There are many situations where this would be useful, such as to determine immigration history, confirm the biological mother in cases of birth confusion, and more.
What’s Needed For A Maternity Test?
A maternity test only needs a sample of DNA (most often a cheek swab) from the child, as well as from the mother. If this is not possible to obtain, testing grandparents may be another option.
To request this test, call our office and schedule an appointment.
We’ll work with you to collect the samples – you do not have to schedule collections at the same time or on the same day. Our team will help make sure everything is collected in the right way.
It is important to know:
- If you will need to use the results in court or for any legal purpose, we’ll need you to come to our office to collect. We only use AABB-accredited labs, meaning they meet the highest standards for lab testing and you can rest assured the result will be 99.9% accurate.
- Results will be available in 2-3 days.

Discovering Your Past, Learning Your History, and Uncovering your Heritage
When many people think of laboratory blood tests, they imagine making an appointment at their doctor's office, taking time off work, paying large fees, and waiting around in the lobby for who knows how long.
When is Maternity Testing Needed?
Most often this is used in cases of immigration. It is also not uncommon to need this test in adoption cases. In some cases, when an adoption has closed for an adopted child, that child will look to a maternity test to verify if a woman is his/her birth mother.
In rare occasions, a maternity test can be used to verify you went home with the right child from the hospital and other maternity mixups. While these are uncommon, such situations are full of confusion and turmoil, and that’s exactly why the clarity and hard data of DNA is so useful.

Do You Need A List Of My Medications For A Drug Test?
- Per protocol, the lab techs are not allowed to receive or ask for your medications. A medical review officer or MRO, a licensed physician who specializes in toxicology, will call you and ask for your medications and your physician’s phone number if it’s detected in your sample during testing. The MRO will then call your physician to verify your medications.
