Establishing paternity in Oklahoma, OK
Establishing paternity is a process used to show who the legal father is. If a woman is married, the husband is considered the legal father. If she is not married, paternity must be established by DNA testing or by both parents signing an Acknowledgment of Paternity.
There may be a situation when the mother is married to a man who is not the biological father, and the birth father wants to be acknowledged as the legal father. In that case, the husband must also sign a Denial of Paternity. This form should be completed within two years of the child's birth. If either of the parents is unsure who the biological father is, they should not sign the Acknowledgement of Paternity. Instead, they can ask the court to establish paternity with a DNA test.
DNA test reunites family for Thanksgiving
Judy Kirkpatrick had her son in 1955 when she was only fifteen, and she decided to give her baby boy up for adoption. Years later, she embarked on the long journey to find her son. Adoption agencies and hospitals told her that the record was closed. For years, she searched for her son until Judy's niece had a match from her DNA test. Finally, they were reunited on Thanksgiving after 64 years apart!
Since Judy gave her son up for adoption, she has had four other children. She told them all along about their long-lost half-brother, so they were excited to meet him. Thanksgiving seemed like the perfect time.
Eventually, they started to talk and decided to meet. Judy found out Barry had the best life, and he had everything he could have wished for. He was happy with his life and did not think about finding his biological mother, but he had no hard feelings toward her because he realized how difficult it must have been to make this decision at such a young age. Now, he is happy they finally reunited.
