"A mother automatically has parental responsibility for her child from birth. However, the conditions for fathers gaining parental responsibility varies throughout the UK."

This could go either way honestly...

parental responsibility does not always pass to the natural father if the mother dies.

I think the best scenario would be both natural parents having parental responsibility for the child after mandatory paternity testing is done.

Well, look at that. Civilized laws that make it easy for unmarried persons to assume joint responsibility for a child, without stipulating that 1) some guy must be tracked down and named "father" no matter what or 2) the guy registering the birth needs to be guy who made the DNA deposit.
