If someone could email me with any information about this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Any written or verbal agreements you may have with the child's father will not be honored by the State - during the course of your new husband's step-parebt adoption procedure, the child's biological father will have to sign a consent form - a specific form issued by the state - once he signs this form, that's it - it's all over for him.
