It is very likely that your Husband will be allowed to adopt your daughter. Your Husband will have to file for the adoption and follow the applicable court rules. If there is no objection by the Father, then the court will most likely allowed the adoption. If you need assistance with the adoption, you can contact my office at 617-410-6467.
