Q&A: How can I get a DNA test for my daughter without my wife knowing?
Question by Living the High Life: How can I get a DNA test for my daughter without my wife knowing?
My daughter is almost 4 weeks old and she honestly looks nothing like me. All my close friends agree. I think she looks like one of my wife’s co workers. They went on a business trip around the time my daughter was concieved. I do not want to acuse my wife and be wrong. I also do not want to ruin our relationship if Im wrong. Is there a way for me to get a dna test for me and my daughter without my wife’s knowledge?

You’re stupid. It has only been four weeks. Of course she’s not going to look like you yet.

Dude, this entire Q is silly.
The baby still has a ton of growing to do. 4 weeks ain’t enough to be jumping to conclusion. And you wouldn’t be able to do it without her knowledge, anyway.
I think you can take a q-tip and swab some cells inside her mouth, then have it tested in a lab.
But you should know that babies are notorious for not looking like either parent for a long time.
they sell dna test at pharmacies now only requires mouth swabs of your daughter and yourself
4 week olds usually don’t look like anyone…
Do one of those at home kits-

Use a friend’s address for the mailing address.
Four weeks is too early to tell. I would be extremely cautious in how your suspicions come accross to your wife. It could ruin your marriage if she thinks you suspect the baby isn’t yours. I’ve seen it happen to my best friend. The baby was his, but he didn’t believe it because he was simply paranoid – she’d never cheated. But after he treated her like crap for her entire pregnancy and while the baby was still too little to tell, she finally turned around and found comfort with another man – one who trusted her. As the baby got bigger, it became obvious it was his. He hasn’t stopped paying for his mistake yet.
Just get the test done……..your wife doesn’t even need to know or approve it.
And hey…….trust me………this stuff happens A LOT.
One of my friends found out that his son wasn’t really his son.
His wife knew it and didn’t tell him.
He found an e-mail that had pics of his son being sent to some other address and the mail said, here’s “…….” at his baseball game……….he’s really starting to look like you.
Now my buddy is paying child support.
Good luck.
Edit: I don’t know about the do-it-yourself-kit….I had a friend who used this and it said he wasn’t the father, but it turned out he was. He got in a huge fight with his fiance, of course.
Get it professionally done.
um.. at 4 weeks the baby is not going to show who she looks like yet! Their features have not developed yet!
You do not need your wife’s permission to DNA test your daughter. Just find a place that does DNA testing and get the test done! They will mail you the results.. you may want to find an address to mail the results to that is not your home where your wife will find it.
There are mail-order kits. Look them up online. They used to cost about $ 800.
Or just arrange for a paternity test on a day when you will have the baby and your wife will be gone.
Ok wow, I guess you can have it done for $ 89 these days. Paternity testing is extremely common, and DNA testing is well understood technology, so this makes sense to me.
yeah…..they have home DNA tests now…..they have one where u just insert a cotton swab in her mouth (no blood test)….google it!
