A maternity DNA test is similar to a paternity test but instead
of determining the probability that a certain man is the biological
father it determines whether a woman could be the biological mother
of a child.
The DNA profile of the child is compared with the DNA profile of the
alleged mother and the results will tell how likely it is that the
woman is the biological mother.

Maternity test results may be used in the following circumstances:
To confirm that an adoptee has been reunited with his/her birth
mother
ACLASS Accreditation Services (ISO/IEC 17025)
To prove biological relationships in an immigration case
To confirm that an embryo conceived through in vitro fertilization
was implanted into the correct mother
To resolve situations in which mothers or hospital staff suspect
that a baby mix-up has occurred in the nursery
In a maternity test the alleged mother and child need to be tested.
It is helpful if the father is also available, because the DNA part
of the father can be excluded and no additional analysis is
necessary.
