Who’s Your Daddy? Find out with the DIY Paternity Test

“Who dat is? Dat’s just my baby daddy!” can now determined in the privacy of your own home. Why put your business out there on Maury and Paternity Test Tuesday when you can perform your own do-it-yourself paternity test? While not admissible in a court of law, for $140 the results are said to be “absolute”. From a capitalistic business standpoint, I don’t see why something like this hasn’t come out earlier.

I sat and thought for a while the best way to be politically correct while putting this post together and came to the conclusion that I just need to say what I really feel. I think all children, planned or unplanned, are a gift from God and have a purpose for being here. My problem is with the people who make them and try to get out of the responsibility for caring for them.

All I’m asking for is a little personal responsibility. Ladies, if you need to prove to a guy that the kid is his, then he obviously doesn’t hold you in high regard. Maybe it’s for a reason or maybe it’s not. Only you can answer that based on your actions. Fellas, if you need to buy a test for a girl because you think she’s been with someone else, then you might need to reconsider the type of women you “kick it” with. Or you might need to pick up some condoms since they’re on the same aisle as the paternity test.

Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I just feel bringing a baby into the world is a big deal. There are kids out there who’s parents don’t want them and in my opinion those are some of the most selfish people in the world. There are too many things you can do to not get pregnant (or get someone pregnant) if you aren’t ready for kids. What’s happening with our society when there is a market for paternity tests at your local pharmacy?

I’m not here to place judgement on anyone, but I think it is a question we need to be asking ourselves. So ladies, IF YOU HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX, THERE IS A CHANCE YOU MIGHT GET PREGNANT. Fellas, IF YOU HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX, THERE IS A CHANCE YOU MIGHT GET THE GIRL PREGNANT. Please spread the word and let others know. There’s no reason at all to have baby momma or baby daddy drama. With a little personal responsibility it can all be avoided.

  2. Although there are many people looking to find out who the father of a small child is, there are also many other reasons people buy this test. Some are adults liking for medical reasons, some are looking for answers to questions that have haunted them for years., still others are looking for a long lost family. Working for Identigene has given me an appreciation for the need to connect with those that share your DNA. I believe it is better just to know…

  6. Hi Marilyn, thanks for your comment. Those are all valid reasons and I’m sure there are those who use it for other purposes, but most of the people I’ve heard using them did it to find the real father of the child. Sometimes it doesn’t always turn out the way the mother wanted it to.

    I visited Identigene’s website and checked out some of their services. I’ve considered the ancestry DNA test to find my family’s origins. I just haven’t gotten around to purchasing a test.
