It is NOT too late to be in her life. Get involved now.
I did not meet my father until I was 6 years old (mom divorced dad, dad was in military overseas, mom never gave me his letters, etc.). I dont even think about it now (missing the 6 years). We are close and I know he loves me. Get involved. Dont bring in the rest of your family yet, establish a bond with your daughter first. Otherwise you run the risk of her feeling like you chose your new family over her. Be open and tell everyone what you told us.
The state probably ordered the paternity test bc the woman was with or married someone else, they got a divorce, she demanded child support and he said "I dont think the kid is mine". The paternity test was administered on him and it showed she was not his. So the mom said, "well the only other person it couldve been is Jeremy". So they ordered a test for you and she wants child support. I dont believe the state will come after you for reimbursement on any medicade or food stamps they had given the child. I think its the scenario I just broke out.
