If you can get a swab from the inner cheek of the mouth and put it into a sterile tube, you can get it checked out. But..there may be legal reasons you should look into first.

Is the non invasive paternity test accurate?

Non invasive prenatal paternity testing can be done by collecting a blood sample from the mother. Fetal DNA makes its way into the maternal blood stream through the placental wall which envelopes the unborn baby. A particular vein has been found to be particularly rich in fetal DNA. This procedure carries huge advantages over prenatal testing procedures such as amniocentesis or CVS. The non invasive prenatal test is totally risk free.


hOW CAN YOU ADMINISTER A TEST TO PROVE THAT YOUR SON IS LEGITIMATE YOURS WITHOUT HIM KNOWING YOU ARE DOING SO IN OTHER WORDS WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT I CAN DO THIS WITHOUT HIM BEING SUSPICIOUS?

The only way to determine paternity is through DNA. The easiest, least expensive way to do that is with a cheek swab. Epithelial cells are used as the source of DNA. There is no "home test." The swabs are sent to a lab where the process takes several days or weeks. You could get DNA through other means, (hair sample, e.g.) but it would be far more expensive. The cheek swab is the most accessible method.

Do I have to have a DNA test to find out who my ancestors are?

Not necessarily. You can trace back your family tree with good research. You may be able to go back hundreds of years. It depends on how far you want to be able to go back. DNA may only be of use if you have other people to test. You can't really do that without knowing who to test. That will take some research to find out who might be related to you. So you will need to do your research, with or without DNA.
