It is universally acknowledged that every child deserves to know their parentage, and every parent has a right to know their child. As someone who deeply believes in these principles, I can understand how shattering it can be for a family when these rights are not upheld. DNA testing at birth is a common practice to confirm these fundamental rights, and its importance cannot be overstated. It ensures children can access support from both parents and provides legal clarity for all involved. Unfortunately, in the U.S, this vital testing is not yet mandatory.

According to the American Pregnancy Association, paternity testing is 99.99% accurate and the best way to confirm biological parentage. Making paternity testing standard at birth across the U.S will save countless families from emotional turmoil and potential legal disputes. It will provide peace of mind and certainty to both parents and children alike. Moreover, it will ensure that responsibilities and rights regarding child support, custody, and inheritance issues can be addressed without ambiguity or disputes.

Children should know their parents, and parents have both the right and the need to know if a child is theirs. Let's push for the introduction of mandatory paternity testing for all births in the United States. Stand with us to protect the rights of children and parents.
