DNA Services of America Offers Three Key Reasons Why Grandparents May Need Paternity Testing for Grandparents Day
According to AARP, nearly 6 million children are raised in households headed by grandparents or other relatives; 2.5 million of these children are without parents in the household at all, leaving their care and upbringing to their grandparents or other relatives.
In light of the high out-of-wedlock birth rate, grandparents often have to establish paternity through DNA testing to:
1. Become a foster parent or gain legal guardianship or visitation rights to their grandchild.
2. Help their son or daughter with a child born out-of-wedlock to correctly complete the Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity.
3. Ensure that the child may benefit from the father's social security or military child survivor allowances in situations where the father is deceased.
DNA Services of America is the only DNA testing services company that has been actively involving itself with grandparents who need DNA testing. It is the only company of its kind that is recognized by Grandparents for Children's Rights and listed as a resource in Grand Magazine.
"The needs of grandparents in today's society and culture are often overlooked. Where parents are offered the opportunity to establish paternity through the state at either no cost or a minimal fee through the child support enforcement program, grandparents are usually not afforded this option if they must take on the role as the parent," states Terri Stromatt, Chief Operating Officer for DNA Services of America. "Many times this population does not know where to turn for guidance in these situations, and it is our duty to educate them and relevant organizations in our communities that we help grandparents get answers through various testing options."
