    Yes, normally they will need his permission and you will have to show attempts to find him to get that permission, Have you contacted his family ?
    Is there a child custody order in place ( if not why)
    Is there a child support order in place ?( if not why)

    You well need to at least show a good faith attempt to contact him for his permission. You will need an attorney to process the adoptions so start shopping around for one now.
