What is the name of your state? Missouri

I have recently found out through DNA testing, that a child I have believed to be my own for the past 10 years, isn't actually mine. My name is on the birthcertificate, and her mother and I were married at the time of her birth. Do I still have all rights as the father of this child, or do I need to legally adopt her? Does the bio father have any rights? I'm not even sure if he knows he has a child.

Until such time as a court rules otherwise, this child is yours. I am extremely thankful that you have inquired about how to keep this child as your own instead of asking how to be rid of any responsibility to the child.
You must be a wonderful, loving person.

It is possible. Afterall, he doesn't know; so for him, it won't be after 10 years; it will be day one for him when he finds out.
