The rights of the biological parents need to be terminated and then you need to adopt the child. Assuming that everyone is cooperative and no one contests this, then it is a fairly straightforward process. They cannot relinquish their rights until two days after the baby is born, so you have some time. Do not even consider doing this yourselves; get a qualified family lawyer. This is one time that you don't want to find out that something was done improperly and that your child is not yours.

Good luck.
