My brothers "baby mamma"

[BRIGHTEYEZ75]

She didn't tell him before she had the baby it was his it took a few months or something after she put her up for adoption thinking he couldn't handle it when she was always sleeping around and Drinking partying he would of straightened up and taken care of her without the mom....does anyone know if DNA testing costs a lot in Oregon? Or can he go to court and have them do the tests even if it was a closed adoption if it was his kid? Like the test came back she was his.....?

If your brother has reason to believe he is the father, in other words, he was her boyfriend at the time she got pregnant, he has the legal right to have a judge order a DNA test of the baby.  He would need to be able to say when he was in a relationship with her and his lawyer can take the request to the judge.  It would not be the first time a woman has fradulently hidden the birth of a baby from the father in order to put it up for adoption, and I assume that adoptions can be overturned on this basis.  Hard on the adoptive parents, but that is what happens when the mother is not honest.  

It's not the test that will cost him (I don't think they cost a lot more than $250, according to the women who write in here) but the lawyer's time.  If he is in Oregon, in the Portland area have him call Lewis & Clark College's Law School and if he is in Salem, he could call the law school at Willamette University, and if in Eugene he can call the law school at U of O, and ask them if they have a legal clinic that does family law.  Legal clinics are training grounds for law students, and they do cases free for people who don't have a lot of money.  They are supervised by a lawyer, and in court, the lawyer and not the law students handles the case.  

The lawyer who handled the closed adoption should have looked into this, or at least had her sign something swearing she did not know who the father was.  I don't know if there are penalties for this kind of fraud (I assume there are) or how severe they are.  This is also something he should find out when he gets a lawyer.

If it has been a long time, the new parents are going to have bonded with the baby, so he needs to get moving NOW if he wants to deal with this, only for their sake.

No he's not it's just because my brother was dealing with a **** that didn't tell him until a little bit after she had it and closed an adoption with another person to have the baby....

What is the point you are trying to accomplish by making him have a blood test? Is he concerned it's not his? If not, I'm not sure why you feel like you need one.

what are you on about.

[BRIGHTEYEZ75]

Hmm....does it make me seem like a **** if I think my boyfriend should get one even though he is and has been the only guy iv slept with for two years and we're having a little boy June 21st give or take...?

That is something you're going to need legal help with.
