DNA TESTS

So my uncle got a woman pregnant, this woman said from the beginning of her pregnancy that he might not be the farther as she slept with another man at around the same time (Jeremy Kyle sh*t I know!)
Long story short the baby has now been born, my uncles brought the baby to see my mother and my grandmother, my mum and nan has both said they've seen the DNA test but I think they're lying. Everytime I ask both the parents to see the dna test they are getting defensive my uncle saying "she's going to stop the baby from coming here" blah blah blah ... 2 months later I'm yet to see a dna test . I get told that I'm "mental" I need opinions on this am I in the right or wrong to be asking when they have both said from the start it might not be his and they are bringing the baby to see my grandmother and yet to show me a test.

Why do you think you have a right to see the DNA test?

Why do you think you have a right to see the DNA test?

Because she texted me saying you've got a cousin so I said "ahh did you do the dna test let me see" an yet 2 months later I still haven't seen it.

I think you do sound kinda mental, sorry. This is between the child’s parents. If they are happy with whatever they have decided between them, then that’s that. You can choose to be in the child’s life or not. I have children I am an ‘auntie’ to that are not technically biologically related to me. So what? 🤷🏻‍♀️

If your uncle is happy to raise a baby that isn’t his by DNA then you should accept that decision too unless they are asking for money or something that you can’t accept. Would you be this way if he’d adopted?

The DNA test is between the child and parents- there’s no need for you to get involved.

I have a DCousin. It was only as she reached adulthood that we realised that genetically she wasn't.

She was brought up by my Uncle and his Wife and is just as much family as my other DCousins.

I think you need to accept the baby and their choices and find something more constructive to do with your time.

You're right to seek clarity about the DNA test, especially since there were initial doubts about paternity. It’s reasonable to ask for confirmation if they’re introducing the baby to family. If they’re defensive, try to have an open conversation, but if they continue to refuse, it might be best to step back for a while. Prioritizing everyone’s well-being, especially the baby’s, is key.

But it's really none of your business, OP.
If the parents are happy, there's no need for you to get involved at all.

I also don't see why the grandmother needs to see a DNA test.

So are you saying that you personally wouldn't accept a child into the family unless you were 100% certain it was genetically related?

You are not serious? Demanding to see the dna test of someone elses baby? Leave it to your uncle for gods sake.
