A member asked:

For dna paternity test do i request it at the hospital or my gynecologist office? in fresno, california?

Paternity test: There are commercial labs who will do a paternity test using samples from the inside of the cheek (the parent's and the child's) via mail. If you would like to receive a certificate there is an extra charge for that.
