Oh, I'm just about positive that your state's Medicaid program would be willing to wait until after your child's birth for you to begin reimbursement. You know, you can always get the paternity test and then begin payments...it's never too late to reimburse the taxpayers for prenatal care and childbirth expenses for your child.

I have to say that I admire your wife for being willing to adopt your child. I would imagine it's a really difficult situation for a woman who is struggling with infertility to know that the child she's adopting was fathered by her husband, assuming she knows it's your baby. Could that be part of your reluctance to legally acknowledge your baby?
