Seek legal help from ana ttorney. You can do both at the same time: terminate his parental rights (ir he can voluntarily surrender them) and your husband can adopt your daughter at the same time. COurts like to see that some one is taking responsibility at the same time that parental rights are terminated. Good luck.
