No. If the biological father wants to assert parental rights he may file a petition with the court to order a paternity test taken. If presented with such an order the mother must comply or be held in contempt of court.

You file a motion with the court to allow an adoption.
No, in those states that do allow you to petition for a paternity test, after an order is in place, your child support must be current first. Twenty states do not allow the challenge, period. see links
