If the bio dad consented, you could add it together through the State. If he doesn't consent, you'd need to file a paternity action to have it added.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services has a form entitled Affidavit Acknowledging Paternity. It can be filled out and filed any time after the child's birth. When both parents complete the form, the man's name is added to the child's birth certificate. It has the same effect as a court order establishing paternity.
