Hello youmjoel, thank you for your inquiry. Please note that these answers are provisional, as we do not know your exact situation and cannot give legal advice.
Your question as to whether having a child in Germany could increase your chances being granted asylum or getting a residence permit in Germany is not easy to answer. If a child is under 18 years old and has a valid residence permit or a german citizenship and the parent has sole or shared custody of the child it is possile to receive a residence permit in Germany. Whether your child would be able to obtain a valid residence permit or a german citizenship may depend on status of the parents and how long they have been in Germany for. It is important to stress that having a child in Germany will not guarantee you a stay. These decisions are "individual case evaluations" and depend on multiple factors.
