What legal rights do you have when you find out a child is not yours?

If a man learns that a child is not his biological child, the next steps depend partly on the state laws and marital status.

If a man was married to the mother of the child, and living with her at the time of conception or birth, then he is the unquestioned father of the child in nearly every state. Most states do not give a man an 'out' from child support if the child is later shown to be not his biological child.

If a man and woman were not married, and she conceives and places the man's name on the birth certificate as father, or after birth tells state agencies that he is the father, there is more room for change. If the man demands paternity testing and DNA or other tests conclusively prove the child is not his, he can petition to have his name taken off the birth certificate in most states, and can petition the family court to remove the child support order from him.

Can you adopt more than one child at a time?

Yes. In the majority of the cases it pertains to siblings. It is preferable that children of the same family remain together. Therefore the court gives special attention to those type of adoptions.

It really depends on whether or not it is determined that you can financially support more than one.

In the case of intercountry adoptions, the government of the child's country makes the rules. For example, China does not allow the adoption of more than one child at a time except in the case of twins - which are rare. Many countries seem to go with the one child at a time policy.
