More details to this question:
My son’s dad lives in another state. I recently have gotten married to someone and we want him to adopt my son. My son’s dad has agreed to sign rights over. When we’re visiting next month, can we have him write out a statement saying he gives his rights up and then have that notarized for when we get back home to start the adoption process?

You can start a step-parent adoption. Bio Father can agree or contest. Hire counsel, and get it done properly and without shortcuts. Shortcuts tend to blow up things, and lead to more expense in the long run.
