Paternity testing can be a very risky procedure. If you would like to know for sure if you are the father, than a paternity testing would provide the most accurate results, but just be prepared for whichever the result may be.
That test would seem to be completely irrelevant.
There is no insurance that would cover paternity testing (because it is not a medical need). Someone can fund their own test and it runs about $1000.
Father's appearance has to similar with his child. Appearances are notoriously unreliable. The best way to establish paternity is by genetic [DNA] testing. Edit: Compare a small number of short sequences of DNA derived from the father and the child's genomes.
Claims of parentship
The father of the baby would have to sign his rights over as a parent as long as paternity has been established. If the father has not signed or been named on the birth certificate and can prove paternity (through DNA testing) or other means he has a legal right to his child.
a paternity test, you guys would show some of the same genetics
Paternity lawyers handle cases when the mother or father is curious of who may be the biological mother or father. They would refer them to have a paternity test and litigate from there.
A child inherits factors or genes from each parent that determine his or her blood type. This fact makes blood typing useful in paternity testing. The blood types of the child, mother, and alleged father are compared to determine paternity.
If you have an eight-week old baby but do not know who its father is, you'll need to have paternity testing performed to establish who is the father. A DNA sample is taken from the child as well as from each of the men with whom you had sexual relations. A laboratory will compare the samples to determine paternity. These tests would need to be conducted by a doctor, so you should go to your doctor and inquire about having the test performed. If you have trouble getting the men to cooperate, they can likely be compelled to provide a DNA sample through the family court system. In that case, go there for help. If you're talking about prenatal testing (e.g. 8 weeks of pregnancy), then that's a different story. There are a couple of prenatal paternity tests, but none to the best of my knowledge can be applied at 8 weeks. You would need to wait at least another month before any type of paternity test would be available. Again, consult with your doctor.
A prenatal paternity test costs ar ound $500.00 depending on the lab used for the testing.
The child would need to have the father's paternity established.
