The only way for your husband to legally adopt your son from the biological father who is incarcerated is for the biological father to sign an adoption agreement prepared by a family law attorney giving up his parental rights to your son where the court approves such per a noticed hearing. I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney to assist you in your endeavor.
