Last month, I reported on the national availability of at-home DNA Paternity tests at Rite Aid pharmacies. Well, looks like the affordable kit has already been changing lives. Take Suliemon Clemens of Philadelphia, for example. Two weeks ago, Clemens wanted his twins to know that he was their father. He hadn't seen them in 14 years: "I remembered these twins when they were toddlers, and I was amazed at how they had grown up," said Clemens. "I told their mom, I just believe the children need to know the truth." As a result, Clemens marched on in to his local Rite Aid, and the lab results proved with 99.99 percent certainty that he was the biological father. "I have plans for them to meet my wife, mother, father, and my son in New Jersey. Identigene, please do not stop helping people in similar situations who may be able to build bridges within their family."
In another case, David Cabrera of Carson, California discovered that he was not the father of his alleged son, who's mother he had a fling with while serving in the military. He had received a call from a 23-year-old man who believed Cabrera was likely his father. "He had his own child and was on a quest to find the grandfather of his son for his own peace of mind," said Cabrera. After taking the test, Cabrera felt relieved, "but of course, mad I had been deceived by his mother. I wish the Identigene DNA Paternity Test Kit was available to me years ago, but thanks for finally bringing me closure." The Identigene DNA Paternity Test Collection Kit is available now for $29.99 at Rite Aid drug stores in over 30 states throughout the U.S.
