You don't have to be the real father to be on a child's birth certificate. You would just have to sign a paternity affadavit, in which you are assuming all legal responsibilities to that child. You would talk to the mother about adopting the child and go through that process--if you are married.

But, if you are already paying child support, this may not be possible.
