:confused::confused:I need to know who is my biological father, my mum has told me but I need confirmation. Now my brother has his own father but we are doubtful if he is mines or not. If I asked my brother to do a dna test would that tell me if he is my full brother or not??

Has your mother told you that you and your brother share the same father?

By testing you can only find out if you and your brother share a father... if you already do not believe that is true, then you would not need to do the test.

Justy, either I'm mistunderstanding you, or I'm misunderstanding the OP. I think he is asking if testing will tell him if his brother and him have the same father, which it would. Whether he believed it or not, the test would tell them that.

How old are you?
A minor can not go getting a test
Also if you do you may cause a problem between you and your parents.
What makes you think he is not your brother?
Many biological siblings do not look or act anything alike.
Why is it so important to you?

You can not "force" your brother to take a test, you can ask him, you can offer to pay him

I think he wants to know who his father is, not if is brother is his brother. But he seems to want to go the round about way instead of simply asking his father for a dna test. I think the OP is leaving details out that we need. For example, WHERE is the father, why does he not believe his mother, and why does he have to go through a test from his brother rather than directly from his father.

Yeah I know that is why I asked those questions

Thank you all for your replys, I am a she actually and the reason I am not asking the dad directly is because I don't want to have any contact with him even if the test comes back as positive. I already have my dad, the dad who brought me up from the first day I was born. I need to know if we share the same dad so I have the truth that's all. I don't trust a few things my mum has told me so all I would like is confirmation.
Thanks again x

I figured you didn't want to ask your dad because you didn't want your mom to know or something like that.

If you and your brother are over 18 I am sure you and him can get tested to see if the results come back with a percentage of chances that you are or are not like 99.9% same father. But you have to look at what if your family finds out and things like that. It could cause problems that your mother lied to you or that you went behind her back and things like that.

I don't even class him as my dad, he never brought me up. It may even be the case that he's not my biological father anyway!
Yeah I think I am prepared for my mum I am actually going to ask her again before I fork out all that money on the bloody test! Ha In case she decides to change her story shall we say!!

N0help4u · Jul 30, 2009, 08:24 AM

If opening a can of worms is more important than just accepting that he may not be your father and live with it then let your mother know that if she isn't honest that is your intentions.

Maybe the money is better invested in counseling. Your post says a lot for not being happy with your life.

Under 18 your brother can not give consent to a DNA test anyway.
And if you are under 18 you can't go for one.

Im wondering the same thing. I got my birth certificate and notice I have another man name on there . So Iam confuse. My mother said she didn't want his name on there because she was afraid that he would run back to his country with me. I ask the man that I known to be my dad ,but is not listed on my birth certificate are you my biologic father he said yes and explained the same thing that my mother said.

I would like to get a DNA to verify that he is my biological father. I want proof
