There is no law I know of that allows a person to mandate a DNA test of another person. Outside of criminal cases, DNA tests are required only to provide proof that a person is the biological parent of a minor and consequently is obligated to provide child support. As you are an adult, you would not have that option. I have several friends who, like you, are in the process of finding and attempting to reconnect with biological parents or children. It is an extremely emotional process. In some cases, the relationship works and in others it doesn't. The only way any relationship can go forward is if both parties are willing to let it. There may be a number of valid reasons why this gentleman does not want to meet with you. It may be that he knows for a fact beyond any doubt that he is not your father. It may be that he has extremely upsetting memories of that time in his life and has no wish to revisit the past. Of it may be that he is emotionally and/or physically so frail that his wife wishes to protect him from any situation that may cause him stress. It sounds like you have done everything possible to make the connection. You can only wait until he is willing to reach out to you. It may be worth your time to have a talk with his case worker and explain why you are attempting to make contact. While he or she cannot share any personal information about this man with you, he or she may be able to serve as a conduit between you two, should this man decide he wants to know more about you.
