Home paternity dna tests from amazon
I wanted to get an opinion on the amazon home paternity tests the STK one and the my forever dna. Are they legit home testing kits?

I think if you are worried, the best for peace of mind is to go to a lab that does paternity tests for the courts. You could probably get a list from the clerk at the family courts in your jurisdictional area.

And, in fact, if you aren't married to the baby's father, you should ultimately get a DNA test that is approved by the courts anyway, so there is legal proof he is the dad in your child's records. Are you still worried that the Korean guy is the dad? I thought you tested with him, and your dates didn't indicate him anyway.
I guess my anxiety is back because I am currently pregnant again by the same man who is my sons father and he is 100 percent the father of my new baby because he’s the only person I was with. So now I’m worried my baby will come out looking completely different so it’s got me questioning the tests again.
Could you explain that again? Why are you worried that your baby will come out looking different?
Are you saying that since you had the idea with your first baby that you went 43 or 44 weeks in your pregnancy (not to mention having a period in between guys), which you haven't put to rest in two years because the baby had a dimple in his chin and straight hair, now you are afraid this new baby will look so different than his brother that it will make you re-question whether the brother came from the Korean guy?
If that is it, please re-read all the correspondence we had back then. Just because you can think up a dreaded scenario does not mean you are correct, it just means you have a strong imagination and a guilty conscience. I'm not going to defend DNA tests any more because it doesn't seem to sink in, but I do point out (again) that people don't go 43 or 44 weeks in a pregnancy, and you did have a period in between the sex you're worried about and the sex that produced the baby. Even without a DNA test, that should be enough evidence.
Please remember as well that while sometimes siblings look like peas in a pod, sometimes one doesn't look like the next. My family had five kids; the first dark-eyed with brown hair, the second a blue-eyed platinum-haired blondie with dimples, the third dark-eyed, the fourth another blondie, and the fifth with dark eyes and a dimple. As a group we don't look much alike. If my mother had had a guilty conscience, I imagine she would have freaked out when the second child had light hair and blue eyes. But it would have been for nothing -- we all came from my dad.
Please do what you can about the anxiety. A counselor is never a bad thing. :)
