I am married to his father and we reside in the same home. His father is in the military and has 100% physical custody. I would like to adopt him so that if there is a deployment, I will be able to legally take care of any issues that could arise (i.e. medical, school registration, etc.).

Bio mom would have to agree to adoption. To take care of him your husband will need to give you a power of attorney unless bio mom wants him during the deployment. Speak to jag about your options.
