Legal Question in Family Law in California

adoption inheritance

Unmarried birth mother in NV conceived in NV then later puts child up for adoption in AZ, never informs birth father of child, never sees birth father again after conception.

Birth father later marries another woman in NV, moves to CA and has 4 kids.

Birth mother contacted by adopted child, birth mother tells adopted child, the birth fathers name, adopted child writes birth father, who answers kindly, but does not particularly want further contact, does not accept offer of paternity test.

Evidence is compelling that the named birth father is actual birth father.

Does the adopted child have any rights to any inheritance of wealthy birth father if he passes away?
