Sibling At-Home DNA Test - Instant Digital Download

2-3 Day Results for Cheek Swabs | 5-7 Day Results for Discreet DNA Samples

Standard cheek-swab DNA tests are typically completed and emailed within 2-3 business days after samples are received and accepted by the laboratory.

Discreet or alternative DNA samples require additional review, evaluation, and preparation through the laboratory’s advanced forensic DNA department. Because these sample types require extra processing before DNA testing can be completed, results are typically completed and emailed within 5-7 business days after the samples are received and accepted by the laboratory - and in many cases, even sooner.

We understand that waiting for DNA answers can feel emotional, stressful, and overwhelming. That is why My Forever DNA® does things differently. We provide a fast, transparent, and fully supported testing experience, so you are never left wondering what comes next.

With My Forever DNA®, you receive:

• Personal email confirmation from your dedicated DNA Specialist when your DNA samples are received, giving you direct access to a real person for check-ins, questions, or clarification.
• A clear turnaround timeline so you know when to expect your results after your samples have been accepted for processing.
• Secure, easy-to-read, full-color PDF results delivered by email, so you can download, save, or print your results for your records.
• No confusing portals, no barcode activation, and no automated, impersonal communication. Just personalized guidance for life’s most important family answers.

Please note: Results are processed and emailed Monday through Friday only. Weekends and holidays are not included in the listed turnaround times.

The Human Advantage Behind Every Accurate DNA Result

We understand how personal, emotional, and important DNA testing can be. That is why My Forever DNA® does things differently by creating a more private, guided, and human DNA testing experience from start to finish.

YSibling test results come back as one of three answers, and understanding what a "moderate" full-sibling likelihood versus a "strong" half-sibling likelihood actually means for your family situation almost always requires a conversation. Every DIY sibling case is assigned one dedicated DNA specialist who releases the report by email and walks through the numbers with you if you want.

What your specialist handles for a sibling case

• Confirms both samples arrived with the correct paperwork.
• Contacts you if either swab appears low-DNA before running the comparison.
• Explains the difference between a "full sibling" likelihood and a "half sibling" likelihood if the result isn't clean.
• Advises on whether testing an additional relative (a possible parent, grandparent, or aunt or uncle) would strengthen an inconclusive result.

No portal, no barcode, no account

You don't create an account, log into anything, or scan a barcode. Everything happens through email or phone with your specialist.

Your DNA Has a Story. We Keep It Yours.

The digital nature of this product means no DNA-related package is delivered to either sibling's home. Cotton swabs and paper envelopes bought from a pharmacy aren't identifiable. The only shipment involved is the one you send from your address to the lab.

Discreet billing

The charge shows on your credit card or bank statement as "MFD" only. No reference to DNA testing or the full business name.

DNA handling

• Physical samples destroyed after testing per lab protocol.
• No consumer DNA profile is built or stored.
• No upload to ancestry, genealogy, law enforcement, or research databases.
• DNA data is never sold, licensed, or shared.
• The result PDF is emailed only to the address you specify.

Coordinating between two siblings at different addresses

If the two siblings live at different addresses, only one person needs to place the order. The email with instructions goes to the ordering address, and that person can forward the instructions to the second sibling.

Each sibling collects their own cheek swabs, packages their own envelope, and either ships their envelope directly to the lab or mails it to the ordering sibling to combine into one shipment. Either approach works, though a single combined shipment simplifies the paperwork and reduces shipping cost.
