Yes and no.
Yes if the biological father isn't interested.
However. If he decides he wants to he can file an affidavit of paternity with the court. If the mother signs the affidavit - the biological father can be given full rights. If she doesn't sign it - the court orders DNA testing and decides based on the outcome of the test.
But - once signed the non - biological daddy can't decide to bail -and not pay court ordered child support.
