FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WOMEN AGAINST PATERNITY FRAUD (WAPF) OPENS NEW CALIFORNIA OFFICE AND LAUNCHES A NEW WEBSITE.

CALIFORNIA / Women Against Paternity Fraud (WAPF) a national non-profit organization that educates the public, media, and policy makers on issues relating to paternity fraud (which is devastating to men, women, and especially children) opens up a new California office.

Year after year, the American Association of Blood Banks reports that approximately 28% of all paternity tests excludes the targeted man. In LA County alone, 80% of paternity establishments are entered by default judgments.

The mission of WAPF is to institute dialogue and educational efforts that encourage reform – to insure that children develop a relationship with their biological fathers, have access to their family medical history, their heritage, and inheritance and medical insurance benefits. With the goal of ending paternity fraud and the devastation it creates within families.

WAPF, founded in September 2014, just launched their new website, http://womenagainstpaternityfraud.org. The website offers educational information and resources on paternity fraud; news articles, articles written from national leading experts, resources, legislative updates, and educational videos.

The user friendly website offers insight as to how the public can help victims overcome paternity fraud, several ways victims can get help, and articles relating to paternity fraud; in hopes of educating the public on the need for reform.

According to Dianna Thompson, President and Co-Founder of WAPF, “In the past, injustices could occur because we were simply unable to be sure about the identity of the child’s father. Today, there is DNA testing and that excuse no longer exists. If DNA is used to free death-row inmates, we should accept it in paternity cases. Honoring the truth serves the best interests of children, families, communities, and society.”
