“Bradley Waite wanted to bring his adult daughter to this country from Jamaica, but couldn’t prove they were related ”” she was born out of wedlock, so his name was not on her original birth certificate.

Waite grumbled over the $1,000 cost as he submitted to the testing several weeks ago. “We needed more proof, but I wish I didn’t have to take it, because it cost too much money,” said the 52-year-old construction worker in New York City.”
