I have a daughter who is 5 years old when born wrong father signed papers at hospital and since then paternity has been established that he is not the biological father. While I know now who the biological father is he doesn't want anything to do with her and has never even seen her. He doesn't want his family to even find out. Now I am married and her step father who has been with her for the last 3 1/2 years wants to adopt her. Since there is no father listed on the birth certificate now could he just sign the paternity papers and avoid the adoption process? In the state of Missouri.
