My husband just found out he might have a 26 year old daughter who was given up for adoption. He never knew the mom was pregnant and someone else signed the girls birth certificate and adoption paper work. We are currently awaiting the dna test to make sure but if she is his is she entitled to anything if my husband was to pass?
