It all depends on what is his status.For example-if the NBF was married to the mother before a child was born he is presumed to be the father and there is no need to adopt the child. In the other hand if there is a bio-father it is required to ask him to relinquish his rights.
Your husband has no rights over the child because he did not help in the creation of the child, but he can legally adopt her.
