MY DNA JOURNEY TO PROVE PATERNITY

My DNA Journey to Prove Paternity is a personal blog about family and genetic genealogy. I was born before DNA and paternity testing were available. Although there was no question about my paternity, my biological father was able to take advantage of the fact that paternity could not be proven at the time and decided to deny paternity as a way to get out of responsibilities and child support. He went so far as to move away. Out of sight, out of mind. Or so he thought. 45 years later DNA became a popular way to legally prove paternity. Using popular commercial DNA testing sites such as ancestry.com and 23andMe, I was able to prove paternity so that he could no longer deny it. This is my journey. This is my story. And this is my truth. I hope to help others who have been in the same predicament.
