My knowledge of DNA sample matching comes from representing people in paternity cases. The father can find out if the child is his without anybody knowing it, by submitting some hairs, as long as they have roots. Only a small number of hairs with roots are necessary. dnaplus.com Not admissible in court, for that you need blood collected from mother, father and child using special forensic collection methods in order to have a chain of custody of the samples. But the hair test is accurate, just not admissible in court. (In case you're interested, results in cases I've worked on are about 60-40 dad vs not dad, which is a very high percentage, but there's usually a reason to ask for a test.)
