Most, if not all states take the man's word as accurate, because the state needs somone to pay child support for any 'abandoned' children. Money talks. Rich in LA CA

Larry, you asked, " Legally does the listing of a Father on the Birth Certificate indicate proof of fact as to the sire? I don't think so. Does anyone know if this is true?" Believe it or not, it depends on the state. You will need to dig into the state laws of the state you were born in. Some states take whoever is on the birth certificate as an absolute.

This relationship is almost identical to my own. According to an offhand comment from one of my two half-brothers I am not certain who my bio father is. The man I have always known as my father since birth, who I have always called Dad, is named as the father on my birth certificate. I have listed them the same way as described here with notes to the uncertainty and the fathers surname as unknown. The name of the father on the birth certificate (in 1947, MO) would only be that offered by my mother, correct? I believe she developed a relationship with Dad while pregnant, as they married one year after I was born, following his divorce from his first wife. No mention of my birth situation was ever made to me during their lifetimes (both now deceased.) Legally does the listing of a Father on the Birth Certificate indicate proof of fact as to the sire? I don't think so. Does anyone know if this is true?
