Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Giving up rights as a father

Recieved a hearing notice for a paternity test for a baby that was born in the past year, I want to give up my rights as a father, what can I do? Will I still have to pay child support if I give up my rights and I have not seen the child since it was born, and my name is not on the birth certificate.
