I had my son as a single mother, he has been baptized, and is being raised as a Catholic. Is it possible for him to become a priest when he gets older?
 
Yes. Before the promulgation of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, illegitimacy was an impediment to ordination, but it is no longer the case since then.
