If in fact the biological father is not on your child's birth certificate, no order of affiliation has been entered by a court and no man has acknowledged paternity, the issue is not complicated. The adoption by your husband can be sought rather easily. However, if a man is named on any of the above mentioned documents then the issue must be taken up by an application to terminate the biological's father parental rights.
