Re: Give My Name to other Child
in case the biological father of the child objects to it, u cannot use your name as father of the child. it is advisable that you communicate with the father or your wife may file a suit for declaration by impleading her ex husband as defendant and seek orders for the same from competent civil court.

Re: Give My Name to other Child
If the parties are Hindus, you may consider adopting the child as per Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act. You may need permission of child's biological father for adoption. After adoption, you will be the father of the child for all legal and practical purposes.
