your husband can apply for some role--adoptive parent or whatever. Your first order is to get a custody attorney who practices in your county.

It depends on whether the adoption is public or private and the relationship of the adopting parent to the child. Every adoption is different. You should contact an attorney with adoption experience to figure out what the first step would be in your particular situation.
