    You actually made it harder by not putting the father on the birth certificate. Before your husband can adopt the children, the bio father needs to be identified and his permission for the adoption given.

    If the bio father refuses, in your case, you may get a court to override his objections.

    You NEED an attorney to make sure this goes properly. So that is your next step. Interview some Family Law attorneys and choose one to guide you through the process. Your attorney will prepare all the paperwork to submit to the court.
