How wonderful for you and your son. In order for your husabdn to adopt your son there has to be a termiantion of the parental rights of his biological father. He can do that voluntarily (relinquish his rights) or you can askt eh corut to terminate them. The court will not generally terminate or allow a person to give up their rights unless there is some one else waiting in the wings, so to speak, to step up to the plate. Good luck.
