I think that a paper with a signature should not be powerful enough to separate a creature from its creator. In this case, a father and an offspring. Legally, the father of that child is the person that signed the birth certificate, so no, the biological father does not have a right. Although, if you can get some type of blood test, then with the results you might have a chance to fight it off in court!

Of course, this is the case if the bio father dies before the birth of the child. The only father at the time of birth is the biological father. You cannot adopt a baby before birth - so the adoptive father signing a birth certificate, at birth, is probably not binding. And the bio father, if he is aware he is a father, must sign adoption papers. The biological father has rights under most circumstances (barring criminal activities and such) if he is aware that he has a child at all.

The biological father can legally have his name added to the birth certificate at any time, unless he has signed away parental rights and the other man has legally agreed to adopt the child.

Regardless of whose name is on the birth certificate, the biological father is still required to make child support payments.

The man who signed the birth certificate is the child's legal father unless/until the court rules otherwise. There is a time limit (in Illinois, 60 days) for the persons who signed the birth certificate to rescind their acknowledgments.

No, not unless it is court ordered via a court ordered paternity test for the purposes of child support. However, if he is positive he is the biological father, and I mean 100 percent positive, he really should sign it, not only to spare himself the expense and time involved responding to court orders, but also to protect his parental rights. He's going to have to pay child support anyway, so he should have the option of shared custody and/or visitation as well as a say-so in his child's life.
