This situation affects not only that child's rights but, when that child has a child, the quantum is reduced and may not be enough for her child or grandchild to become enrolled. It is the same for babies whose fathers are never established. They only have their mother's quantum recorded. It will be just as difficult to enroll that child's children and grandchildren. When the difficulty of enrollment is added to the fact that the child does not know who her father is, it stacks the deck against the child from the beginning.
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.
