Paternity questions

I have a friend who came from another county pregnant. The baby father is not here in the US. How should she go about the baby's birth certificate? Will they give her trouble? He is in Africa.

One and Done

Is anyone absolutely terrified of having a second child? I have one baby and she is almost 15 months old and her daddy and I want her to be an only child like me and the thought of another child taking her attention away terrifies me.
