Recreational DNA testing eventually led to discovering that I had never before met my biological father. Mom got it wrong. I met him and his family this summer finally. I am slightly irritated that my last name (and my child’s) is now kind of meaningless, and it’s too much of a hassle to change it.

Paternity testing should be done for every child. The child and father should have the same certainty that mothers have.
Even with my experience as a presumed father, and as a falsely-surnamed child, I disagree.
It’s okay to disagree. But many who would line to know can object only when it’s already too late.
