It is extremely difficult to definitively determine if a child is yours without a DNA test. While there may be some physical resemblances or shared traits, these are not conclusive evidence of biological parentage.
Here are some reasons why relying on anything other than a DNA test is unreliable:
- Physical Resemblance: While a child may share physical traits with a parent, these can be misleading. Many people share similar features, and genetics are complex.
- Shared Traits: Personality, interests, and talents can be influenced by environment and upbringing, not just genetics.
- Emotional Connection: A strong bond with a child does not necessarily prove biological relatedness.
DNA testing is the most accurate and reliable method to determine biological parentage.
