Yes, but if the action is challenged by the biological father the BC and the custodial rights to the child can be altered.

Technically some might view such an action as fraud. However, if it is done with good intent there would be no legal repercussions but possible civil ones as noted above.

This question really is quite confusing. The only people that can be on the birth cirtificate is the mother and who ever signs as the father. There would be no place for your girlfriend to sign if she is not the mother of the child.

I assume by "birth certificate" you mean, voluntary acknowledgment of paternity. If you sign such a document knowing your statement is false, you can be convicted of perjury. If you wish to raise the child as your own, you should take steps to adopt.

In addition, you could be held financially responsible.
