At-Home Maternity DNA Test | Multi-Location | 1 Order, 2 Kits Shipped
Maternity DNA test with two cheek-swab kits shipped to separate addresses, for a mother and child who live apart.
Accurately and privately determine whether a woman is the biological mother of a child, even when participants live in different homes, cities, or states. The My Forever DNA® Multiple Location Home Maternity DNA Test Kit allows each person to collect a simple cheek swab from home and return it directly to the laboratory.
A maternity DNA test compares genetic markers between an alleged biological mother and a child to determine whether they share a biological mother-child relationship. The multi-location configuration ships two collection kits, one to each of the two U.S. addresses provided on the order. Participants collect cheek swabs at their respective locations. Each location returns its participants' individually labeled samples and completed forms, and the laboratory links the two shipments to one coordinated case.
Maternity testing is less common than paternity testing because there's usually no doubt about who gave birth to a child. The most common scenarios where it's needed:
When cheek swabs from both participants yield viable DNA, accuracy is scientifically strong. The comparison runs on 24 DNA genetic markers with dual processing through a US-based AABB-accredited and CAP-certified laboratory partner. When maternity is confirmed, results typically show 99.999% or higher probability. When maternity is excluded, exclusion is 100%. The multi-location logistics don't affect the science, only the shipping.
This kit is for informational use only. If the result may be used for immigration documentation, custody proceedings, or estate matters, a legal chain-of-custody maternity test is required. Legal testing involves witnessed collection with photo identification and a documented chain of custody, which cannot be done through a multi-location home kit. Legal maternity testing is offered as a separate service.
Prefer a standard one-location home maternity test?
If all participants can collect samples from the same location, our Standard At-Home Maternity DNA Test may be the better option.
Need to confirm both biological parents?
Our Paternity + Maternity At-Home DNA Test Kit includes separate paternity and maternity comparisons in one coordinated case.
Unable to provide cheek swabs or unsure which maternity test to choose?
Contact a My Forever DNA Specialist before ordering. Explain which mother-child relationship you need tested and what samples are available so the team can advise on the appropriate test and collection arrangements.
