    Get a lawyer.

    Make an attempt to contact the birth father to sign away his rights (usually starting to push for child support will REALLY help with that).

    Go to court. Have the birth father's rights either voluntarily given up or severed by the courts.

    File adoption papers. Go to court again. Sign papers to make adoption legal.

    That's why you need a lawyer. A lawyer can tell you what you have to do to legally terminate the bio father's rights. And will prepare the pettition for your husband to adopt.
