Based on what you have written, regardless if you "know" the child or not does not modify your legal rights as a parent. There are a few additional items which you may want to consider prior to giving up your rights as a parent. You also, may want to speak with a law firm to ensure that you are protecting your rights and interests. If my law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact us at [email protected] to arrange for an initial consultation.
