Tom Huber said: Jordi is correct. Church policy when the father is unknown or not "in the picture" is to seal the child to that couple who helped raise the child (usually grandparrents). The policies are set forth in the following articles (member sign-in to view is required):
Policies for sealing deceased children to deceased parents - https://www.familysearch.org/help/hel... - There are applicable links to the other articles at the bottom of this article, including the following.

Christine said: And one important thing to remember is the sealing belongs to the child; I have often assured people that faith in the sealing ordinance also extends to faith in Heavenly Father's ability to fix the messy and even horrific aspects of this earthly life.0
