Many people decide
to have a paternity test because there are suspicions about the paternity
of the child or the mother is uncertain as to who fathered the child.
Paternity cannot be determined based on appearance. It does not matter
if you and your wife or girlfriend have brown eyes and hair and the baby
has blue eyes and blonde hair. The only way to prove paternity conclusively
is to conduct a DNA test.
Some people are advocating that paternity testing be
done on every child at birth whether the "parents" are married
or not. The distress of discovering non-paternity in a child is aggravated
with the age of the child. We know that people often discover non-paternity
later in life and at great sorrow to themselves.
There is a development of children being tested earlier,
since DNA testing is more widely acknowledged and accepted, and the times
of ignoring the truth or deliberately nominating the wrong the man as
the father based on his income, are coming to an end.
The fact is that DNA testing, as is done today, keeps
both parties truthful. Children are more often being put with the correct
parents, and the consequence of these events is that it creates a more
protected and enhanced future for the children, and no chance of distressing
discoveries later in life.
