DNA Test Today

Elizabeth’s DNA test was taken today. The DNA is tested by swabbing the inside of the cheek, known as a buccal swab, of both baby and birth mother. The tests are analyzed by LabCorp in NC. Results take 1-2 weeks.

The birth mother was there for the test and is required to hold Elizabeth on her lap for a picture for the file. Aleda, from the adoption agency, said all went well. We'll get a copy of the picture (the only one we'll have of the birth mother) and results when the Guatemalan family court completes their report.
