You really need a good family law attorney who handles adoptions in your area. Adoptions are not really diy. It's really great you want to adopt the child, but Courts are conservative and few will approve one if you and the mother aren't married. So, no matter what he wants, the father is just going to have to keep paying support until you and the Mom are married and stable.
