My 3 year old son’s DNA test was done and for some reason I found out that his DNA does not match with mine. What shall I do?
Dear readers, I am a 32 year old male. My 3 year old son’s DNA test was done and for some reason I found out that his DNA does not match with mine. I suspect that the child is not mine. What step would be right for me to take in this situation? Please fix my problem.
Solution – In fact, assuming any one reason behind the problem you have mentioned here and reaching any conclusion would be considered a foolish decision.
If your child’s DNA does not match yours, there could be many reasons behind it. For this you will have to use your wisdom.
There cannot be a single reason why the child’s DNA does not match your DNA. Therefore, if you are thinking that your wife was having physical relations with a man other than you, then this thinking can spoil your relationship.
If you think that your wife was cheating on you and try to accuse your wife of being of bad character without confirming it, then it will prove to be a decision that will create problems for your marital relationship.
You cannot define your wife’s character on the basis of DNA test nor can it be a certificate of your wife’s character. It is very important for you to be aware of the possible reasons for DNA test mismatch. You arrive at a decision only after seriously considering all these aspects.
Some of the possible reasons for your problem are explained in detail below, about which you can use your discretion to confirm and take a right decision.
1. Baby swapping is one of the main reasons for DNA test not matching. Many times such incidents are commonly seen in hospitals.
Such incidents mostly happen in those hospitals where there is a lot of crowd. In such a situation, when many children are being born simultaneously in the hospital, sometimes due to the mistake of the nurse or pediatric doctor, the child is swapped.
In such a situation, the child’s parents get someone else’s child and the biological child of that couple goes to someone else. You should pay attention to the fact that your child was not born in any such hospital where there is a possibility of such negligence.
2. For couples who have their eggs and sperm fertilized in a laboratory outside the womb through IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), there is a strong possibility of an incident in which the egg or sperm sample is mislabeled. .
Due to such possible human error, sometimes you get someone else’s child instead of your own biological child.
If you are not aware of the incidents of baby swapping happening around the world, then for your information, some of the most talked about incidents of baby swapping are being told here so that you can guess that such incidents are very common.
Only a year ago, an incident of a nurse had come to light in which she had deliberately done baby swapping. That nurse had been working in that hospital for more than three decades and during her tenure she had carried out countless incidents of baby swapping.
You will be surprised to know that he did all this only for his entertainment and fun. She neither suffered from any mental illness nor did she have any personal interest behind doing all this. She used to swap children just for fun.
The second incident is also of a British doctor who remained in the headlines for a long time. When the information about that doctor was revealed, it was revealed that he never used the woman’s egg and her husband’s sperm to create an embryo.
That doctor used his own sperm instead of her husband’s sperm along with the woman’s egg. When investigation was done about him, it was revealed that by now the doctor had become the biological father of 400 children.
Solution to your problem-
If your child’s DNA is not matching with yours, then in such a situation, your best option can be as follows-
1. If the age of the child is three years or above and there is an atmosphere of happiness and peace in your family, along with this, your family loves that child, gives love and affection to that child, your family should be attached to that child. If he is gone then it would be better if you adopt that child. This will be a perfect solution for you.
2. If your child was not born through IVF process but through simple fertilization and you have doubts about your wife’s behavior and character, then get your wife’s DNA test done as well.
If after getting your wife’s DNA test done, your wife’s DNA does not match with that of the child, then it is completely wrong for you to doubt your wife’s character. In such a situation, there is every possibility that your child has been shifted to the hospital.
In this situation you can adopt the legal route. You can take the help of the court and demand DNA test of the children born on that day in that hospital. If baby swapping has taken place, this is the only way to find your biological child.
In the second situation, if the wife’s DNA matches with the child’s DNA, then you are justified in doubting your wife’s character and it simply means that she was cheating on you. In this situation you can demand divorce from your wife.
3. If your child is born through IVF, whether its DNA test matches that of your wife or not, it is useless for you to doubt your wife, nor do you have any right to make such meaningless allegations.
You should proceed only after examining all the above possibilities because the DNA test of the child cannot be called a character certificate of your wife. If you think so, then remove this misconception from your mind.
Apart from this, the better option for you would be that if your child has got along with your family and you have attachment with that child along with your family, then adopting that child would be the most suitable option for you.
