Which benefits or privileges are for foreigners with a declared Dominican kid?
Yeah - helping raise and pay for the child and experiencing their life, ups and downs
Learning how to transfer your money to the D.R.
Absolutely none that I know of(?). If you marry the mother you can get citizenship easier.
The child of a foreigner is Dominican if the other parent is Dominican or the foreigner is already a legal resident in the DR.
In your question, the other parent must be Dominican for the child to be Dominican since the foreigner is not a DR resident or DR citizen already
Benefit to the foreigner in that case? Nope.
Thanks, was afraid that there is no entitlement for a permanent residence or even citizenship.
Talking about the standard situation of a gringo and a dominican mother with a kid declared fatherhood.

So it's Jose's kid not yours?
(kuddos to you for trying to fiil the void and doing a good thing)
Answering, correcting and being slightly off topic but related, a child born to a US citizen is automatically granted citizenship (but for registering the birth abroad) and would receive 50% of a retirees social security benefit (assuming the US citizen is collecting same). There are also other possibilities granting up to 75% in benefits.
Note also that should the US citizen pass, his or her full benefit would pass to the spouse until the child or children turn 18...........explaining in small part perhaps why so many Dominican women are receptive to having children with an older US citizen.

Not sure, however I know what they should not get and what they can enjoy in the D.R., given the foreigner sends some money for a decent life.
What we are used to 4 to 30 years ago in the original country disappeared and will never come back (superior education, full employment, social security, safetc etc.)
France has fallen and Germany is following close.
In Germany it is not possible to send your daughters to public swimming pools anymore. Some closed this summer because of violence (by a certain group of immigrants).
In schools normal classes do not exist anymore unless you send your kids to private schools.
Mass unemployment is expected as soon as this year, factories are falling like dominos.
Safety in public transport is gone.
France, Germany, USA: all the same.
And, btw, many kind of jobs abroad are killed by AI and robots,
Really think that kids should enjoy their childhood in the DR, because this kind of hapiness you can not find elsewhere.

If you become a step father try to remember you may be the only 'father' the child knows.
Even if you break the relationship with the mother it does not mean the child vanishes and may be attached to you and value that relationship more than you know.
I had the privilege for the past 10 years of helping raise a girl I met when she 6 years old. Got to experience her life - teaching her to swim, her obsession for lasagna and crispy chicken sandwiches and Mozzerella sticks, the planning and experience of her quincenera, enrolling her in English classes, private school, Punta Cana vacations, now starting to discover make up and finally doing driving lessons. All the normal life experiences.
I've helped her afford many small things she might never have had like a cell phone, a laptop (which she used during the absurd lock downs), Netflix and various other things that I hoped enriches her life together with our 10-year bond.
I can honestly say it's been rewarding to me to see her grow and I hope she continues through college and continues her path to becoming a valuable young lady on a productive path.
Being a step father isn't about what benefits it might bring to you with the DR government. Try to remember children are humans & quite impressionable and may reflect the values (or lack thereof) that you impart for the remainder of their lives.

Yes, up to 75% in certain circumstances, the majority being 50%.
And to further add, and little known, if you also receive social security AND provide financial support to a child not your own........................you can also receive benefits for that child until they turn 16.
