    Whether your husband can adopt depends on several factors determined by local law. But the likelihood is, if the bio father agrees, then it should be no problem. How you go about it is to retain a Family law attorney to prepare the adoption paperwork. The attorney will tell you all the requirements and steps you have to go through.
