The specifics depend on the adoption laws of whichever state or country you are in.
But, in general, yes. Once you are married (In some places, you have to have been married for a certain period.), he can apply to adopt your children. Their father normally will need to be given notice an an opportunity to object. Consult an attorney in your jurisdiction about the details.
