Absolutely not! If you did a legal adoption of the son then you are considered the legal father/guardian. If you divorce you will even have to pay childsupport. Good luck
No. The father of the pregnant daughter has no legal obligation to support her child. That responsibility belongs to the biological father of the unborn child assuming that the pregnancy is not terminated nor the child placed for adoption or parental rights terminated by the court.
