Congratulations on your new found happiness. He sounds like a wonderful man. You need to contact a family lawyer in your area and get advice on how to proceed. Your new man can file a petition to adopt your child. If he is married to you, no health, social, educational & genetic history report need be prepared although there will be a criminal background check prepared as well as a social study. It is a relatively straightforward process but it is best to have a lawyer advise you so you are certain that everything was done correctly per the Family Code.
