You should see another attorney who is knowledgeable in paternity and family law.
Bio dad has rights IF he acts quickly. There is a presumption that the husband is the father, but it can be challenged. It won't be cheap, but no where near as expensive as a divorce. It also happens that I know the Family Law commissioner in Sacramento and he strongly favors having bio parents be the legal parents. But bio dad must act quickly because there is a limited time after discovery of paternity to act.
