What other Labs are used for DNA tests?

I just called LabCorp to see if they had our test results from the DNA test and they said they didn't even have the samples yet...
WHAT?!?!?!?!

Then she told me that our agency no longer uses the Lab Corp in North Carolina.

Phew..... OK, my heart is beating again!!

Anyone know of the other labs that are used? I thought this might have been a clue to me that I should just wait to hear from my agency! nahhhh...

THANKS!!

Ours used Orchid Lab. There are a few. any one is fine, they must be approved by the embassy. Orchid sent the certified results right to the embassy, sent me a copy and my agency a copy. Other labs require you to have it certified yourself I think.
Be prepared for the pic of your Birth mom holding your baby. I was not aware of it until I got it. I was surprised.

Our agency used Orchid Genescreen.

I did the same thing--called Labcorp, and I was really nervous when they said they didn't have the sample yet. This was a week after the testing was done. I never did find out who was doing the testing until I got the results in the mail.

My agency used another lab as well...I just can't remember the name of it! So, don't panic yet until you have confirmed your agency uses Labcorp
