The best way for you to adopt the baby that your husband's "ex" is having is for you and your husband to contact a family law attorney to get an adoption agreement drafted between you and the "ex" and once signed begin the legal process of drafting a petition with the court seeking the relief you want and a court order approving the adoption.
