Both parents have to receive legal notice for the adoption. However, if the father has not been contacting them or supporting them for over a year, his consent is not needed. Your son-in-law really needs to pay for an attorney if he is serious about all of this.
Without knowing the facts of the guardianship, it is difficult to evaluate the situation. However, I do suggest that he contact an attorney as soon as possible.
