Re: just wondering
Your husband can file a petition for adoption. It is a somewhat complicated process, involving a good bit of paper work. Consult with a local attorney.
Re: just wondering
A step-parent adoption may be possible. The details that you have not posted will affect the cost and process, so the first step is to sit down with a lawyer experienced in adoptions. You may also be able to save money and just do a name change. Call my office for details and an appointment.
