Thanks Crick for your comments. That is exactly what the attorney I am talking with has told us. I had planned to call and find out what the cost of medical expenses comes to so that I may pay if Medicaid comes after me. My preference is to legitimate the baby and have my wife so a step-parent adoption.
The birth mom is against me doing that because she said Medicaid will take away coverage for her 2 previous children who are on Medicaid right now because she has low income, and they may say she knew the biological all along. She does not want to risk that.
We decided to help her out because we have agreed to adopt baby. Georgia has strict laws about what you can pay to a birth mom whose baby you want to adopt. And then there is the issue of not being 100% certain I am the biological father, and that is easier after baby is born which is end of September.
Trust me: doing adoption was not my first choice.
