Why should paternity be established, if a mother is planning to marry another man who is going to adopt the child?
Marriage and adoption plans sometimes fall through. In the meantime, your child is entitled to support and legal benefits from both parents. In addition, having the biological father’s name documented on a voluntary AOP form may provide availability of medical information which, in the future, could save a child or grown child’s life.
