  (1)  The natural parents participated in a marriage ceremony before or after the birth of the child, even though the attempted marriage is void;

  (2)  The paternity is established by an adjudication before the death of the father, or is established thereafter by clear and convincing proof, except that the paternity established under this subdivision (2) is ineffective to qualify the father or his kindred to inherit from or through the child, unless the father has openly treated the child as his, and has not refused to support the child.
