Illegitimate Status on Child’s BC

I have learned that illegitimate child will not inherit anything from own parents, is it advisable to process adoption of your own child or what will be the best move? Father no longer wants connection with the child.

Yes. Me and my hub we are not legally married but my baby birth cert have his name. We were suppose to rom but things gone bad we are now fighting for this child according to my lawyer I'm supposed to make a will if I were to remarried and have kids again. Under the law my child won't get anything if I pass on.
