The child must be borned first. The parents' rights must be terminated either by the court or by both signing a surrender. Surrenders will allow you to proceed with a voluntary adoption.

You cannot do a thing until the child is born. Since it appears to be an intrafamily adoption, it should be a bit quicker than other adoptions. Contact an attorney.
