Probably not. You might be able to adopt the child given the right circumstances, but if you are not the dad, you are not the dad.

Unless he was married to the mother at the time of the conception, if he is not the biological father he has no standing to make a custody claim under normal circumstances.

He needs to file either a guardianship or for visitation based in his parent-like relationship.
