I am on the verge of being married and I wanted to know when I do get married and my husband decides to adopt my son, do I need my son's legal father's consent?

Hey... didn't know if this was the place to ask this but I figured it might be. So this is a little colorful but would appreciate any help possible even if it's a redirection to where this question would be answered better would be lovely. So, here goes: my mother and myself have lived in our rent...

Do I have to be married to my boyfriend in order for him to adopt my children after my exhusband signs his rights over? We live in Texas.

My fiancé and I are getting married soon and we wanted to know how we would go about relinquishing biological fathers rights and having my fiancé adopt my sion?;)
