Stigmas follow such children. Do not wait to determine who is the father of your child. Although mothers are most often blamed for children out of wedlock, everyone knows that it really takes two. Don't let embarrassment stand in your way. There is no reason to be afraid of having a blood test.
Courts routinely order such tests.
Tests today are performed painlessly by swabbing the inside of the cheeks. Everyone can be tested on the same day, different days or even different locations if necessary. As long as a child and possible father are living, it is possible to determine paternity, no matter the ages. It helps to have all three people present, but medical records may be used to find out any missing information. A possible father is usually given two chances to show up for the test.
