Lizarde...
The process that DDC uses - would cover getting Stern's written signature as permission before the swab was taken from the baby. So I would think it is a done deal and Stern would not have to be on the Cali court order.
Also again Opri said that the Cali court would accept the DDC DNA test results. (this is de to the "Chain of Custody" method they use)
All I can tell you is go to the DDC website and look around and read...
