This should be done legally and you can either go to a lawyer or quietly go to your own attorney which handles these sorts of cases. If your girlfriend wants to give up her child to you, you will be checked out thoroughly to be sure you can offer this child a good environment, have the money to care for the child and give them a reasonable education, not to mention having decent medical insurance. Marcy In the state of South Carolina if there is no father's name on the birth certificate,until the age of 5 no adoption is necessary. The mother can just add a father's name to the birth cerrtificate. Karen

NO. In most states the father of the child must be present at the time of birth to sign the birth certificate as the father of the child. It could, in reality, be any man who would be willing to take legal responsibility for the unborn child. A child will only automatically get the father's name if the two parents are married.

Do a father have to adopt his child after the father n mother of the child gets married n the child has the mothers last name?
You can't adopt a child who's biologically yours. If you have not already done so, I suggest that you ask the court for an order finding that you are the father. You will probably have to sign an acknowledgment of paternity or undergo genetic testing to accomplish this.

Does changing a child's last name to new husbands name relinquish father of child support?
Actually, there is nothing in a name. You can change your child's name to your favorite actor's last name if you like. Relinquishing child support from the father would only take place if your new husband got permission from both you and the child's father to legally adopt your child. This would in turn mean that your ex-husband is not legally your child's father any more. Which can cause other issues. For example, in the event of your ex-husband's death, your child would not be eligible for SSI benefits because the child is not legally his anymore.
