Thread Name: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
Subject: RE: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
Where I grew up, and it was likely common behaviour elsewhere as well, teenage pregnancy was often handled thusly: the mother of the teen announced she herself was pregnant. Several months later the teen goes to 'visit relatives on the mainland'. Couple months later, the teen's mother 'has the baby'. The child was registered as the biological child of its grandparents. That could mess up the DNA testing considerable, and I imagine it does.
