Man, Go to the clinic. You can get all that stuff free if she doesn't have Medical Insurance. Just get her tested. She could be trying to pull a fast one on you...

And I'll tell you like my mom told me and continues to tell me... "Get a DNA test!" My Family has some "Gotchas" in our family tree and you'll never know what a baby will look like when it comes out, so any girl I'm with HAS to take the prenatal DNA test as far as I'm concerned.

If you trust her that much why sleep with her?

Damn man. They equate baby with marriage because marriage is supposed to mean you'll stay and take care of the baby.

that little, you mean? It's not about trust. If she tries to make it about trust, I'm not listening.

You wouldn't buy a car without the title right? You can't just run in a dealership, write your name on the Window Sticker of a car and say it's yours.

That's equivalent to writing your name on the birth certificate. You have to have the proof it's yours before you claim it.

A Paternity Test is my title... If it's all clear, I'll sign the paper work to take ownership. If my DNA isn't on the Title, there's no way I can legally and morally take ownership. It's as simple as that.

Nothing about trust... It's an assurance in writing that my child is mine... that the co-creator of this life is me.

Grats, and *wince* at the same time...

If i remember correctly, many latin cultures do not look favorably to children out of wedlock. Bastard Children are very frowned upon... Not having them in wedlock would make the girl look bad. Even though it's a veil, people buy it... Many times "marriage" comes after the baby is conceived just to save face.

That's why you gotta be careful wear your rubbers or use some form of birth control!

make sure whatever choice you make about marriage is for the benefit of the child, I know many think that its best for people to get married but you and the mother should be in love with each other first or the baby gets cheated in the deal. ihope it all works out for you. You dont have to be married to be a good daddy but you do have to be a good daddy.

Fully agree and thank you for the metaphor I'll keep it in the back of my mind for future arguments.
