The easiest route is to get a family/adoption lawyer who will send the birthfather relinquishment forms to sign his rights over. It's easier (and cheaper) if he signs willingly. If he's going to fight it then it can get quite expensive (and sometimes impossible to get done). If he can't be found then there are other things they lawyer can do (such as public notice in his last known towns paper). One that is done they will terminate his rights and do an adoption decree for your husband to adopt your son. Some states require a homestudy and/or background check on the stepfather. Once that's done you go to court and it's granted. |
