It looks like DNA paternity testing has finally begun. Samples from Dannielynn, Anna Nicole Smith’s 6 month old baby, and paternity contender Larry Birkhead were taken earlier today in a Bahamas doctors office.

The samples will be sent to a DNA lab in Columbus, OH for testing and then will be sent back to the Bahamas in four days.

Since Howard K. Stern is presumed to be Dannielynn’s father since his name is on the birth certificate he was not required to provide a DNA sample at this time.

If Birkhead’s DNA matches Dannielynn’s, Birkhead will be able to challenge Stern in a fight for custody. Stern’s DNA may be required at that time.
