DNA Testing for Adoption

DNA testing for adoption is a process that analyzes an individual’s genetic material to establish biological relationships, such as parentage or familial connections. When done during adoption, it helps adoptees find biological relatives or confirms family ties, providing clarity and peace of mind. The test typically involves a simple cheek swab, which is then compared to DNA samples from potential relatives or repositories. This scientific method offers a reliable way to uncover or verify family history, assisting with identity, medical history, and emotional connection, in a respectful and precise manner.
