I can't answer this question accuratly, because I don't know which church you're refering to. But ultimatly it's the child's decision to be baptized, and no matter what the parents' situations are, it can't stop the child from being baptized.
Catholic Answer:
Yes, parents who are not married can have their child baptized. The Church does not punish the child for the sins of the parents.

What is your son missing if not baptised in the Catholic Church?
He would not be absolved of original sin.Roman Catholic AnswerNot sure what you're asking, if you are asking what he would be missing if he wasn't baptized at all, then, indeed, he would not be absolved or original sin. If you are asking about baptism specifically in the Catholic Church, then the question is more complicated. By baptizing an infant you are taking on the responsbility of raising them as a Christian, you are also giving them some responsibilities: to live by the Commandments and the Corporal Works of Mercy, in other words to live as a Christian. If you son is not baptized in the Church, the first thing you would have to worry about is if he is validly baptized. Some protestant churches do have a valid baptism, but not all. The second thing you have to worry about is the other sacraments, if he is not baptized in the Catholic Church, then he is ineligible to receive the other sacraments, and thus is deprived of the normal means for God has of communicating the grace to grow in the Christian life and be saved.
