    My new husband wants to adopt my son...

    If he will not sign, you find the very best lawyer you have, file for the adoption and prove it should be done according to the laws of your state. Each state in the US has separate rules on why adoptions can happen. In these cases it is just never for sure what the court will or will not do. All you can do is file and try. Talk to a local attorney first
