You are confused about the issue: the man doesn't legitimate himself; he seeks to legitimate the child. You should contact a local attorney familiar with family law.
Re: A Biological Father wanting to legitimate his child!!
If the biolgical father has established paternity, he should now file for legitimation. You can consent to the legitimation. If the husband's name is on the birth certificate it can be removed and the bioligical father's last name can be added and the child's last name can be changed to that of the biological father's. I suggest that he seeks a local attorney for assistance.
