I know a few months back there was a post about DNA testing. I know many have had it done and I'm very interested in having it done on my children. My kids are full siblings so I think I'll only do it on Riley this time due to cost and that he is old enough to cooperate. There are a few different companies who offer different things. Which ones have you guys liked? I can't decide . . I would love to know more about my children's background on the donors side but a overall report would be awesome too. I've was reading up on this site but still can't decide. I might do one test on R from one company and one on E from another. Given I'd love all the info. At least they are full siblings.

I have a 23 and me account. It seems to provide pretty detailed information, though I haven't shopped other sites. As a person on their mailing list, I get announcements for sales that they do a few times a year. If it's similar to how they did it last year, just before Mother's Day will be the next upcoming sale (usually 25-50% off). I've been paying attention because I plan to get it as a gift for my mom.
For $5 you can get the medical data from any of them you just need to use a third party which is the $5. It's VERY easy!!

And for the medical use the link below. You can look at sample reports now. Also ancestoryDNA is also available on Amazon I found out after and in their comments it has some helpful info.

I looked at that however it isn't for ancestry DNA. It's for another company.
