What if the mother is married to someone other than the biological father?

Texas Attorney General
Even if the biological father signs the AOP, he will not be named on the birth certificate or be the legal father unless the mother's husband signs a Denial of Paternity. If the husband does not sign the Denial of Paternity, the biological parents must either visit a child support office or go to a private attorney to file a paternity legal action.

What if the mother is not married and the father of the child is married to someone else?

Riverside County Department of Child Support Services - Freq...
In this instance, the mother is not married to someone else so there is no husband who is presumed to be the father of the child. The father, although married to someone else, can sign the Declaration of Paternity to have his name entered on the birth certificate as the legal father. No. The law states that only the natural mother of the child and the man identified as the natural father may sign the Declaration of Paternity.

My children's mother and I were never married. Do I have any rights as a father?

Mansouri Law Offices
Of course you do. If you are the acknowledged father of your child, custody and child support issues are fairly clear-cut. However, if you are the child's stepfather, you may not be responsible for paying child support nor have to participate in a custody arrangement. When the water starts getting muddied in divorce proceedings and in life is when a woman makes a claim that you are the father of her child. This is called being a presumed father.

Why are there more slides that show the Father rather than the Mother?

PARENTS' WISH - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I mentioned in the ABOUT US section, this slideshow is an adaptation of a powerpoint presentation entitled "Tribute to Dad". The photographs used for the slideshow were taken from that presentation. As the title implies, the original presentation was meant for a Father hence there are more photos showing the Father rather than the mother. If and when we get a chance and if we are able to gather enough materials, we will replace the photographs in the slideshow.

This really depends on TWO separate criteria. First, If you are married to any man, that man, your legal husband has rights to the child regardless if he is the biological father or not. In cases where a husband is not the biological father of the child he still must be notified. As well, if the biological father is your husband he must be notified and must consent to the adoption.

I've always heard that my mother's father or grandfather is to blame for my hair loss. Is this true?

Advecia FAQ's - Hair Loss Support
NO. This is a common myth. It started in 1916 as a result of a published paper by Dorothy Osborne, stating that pattern baldness was inherited by one side of the family, namely your mother's side. This myth is ongoing because it has been propagated in dermatologic literature for many years. So who ultimately contributed to your hair loss? The contribution for your disorder was most likely defined by both of your parents. However, the genetic aspect of hair loss is much more complicated.
