He doesn't have to adopt the baby. He's already the legal father.

Can your boyfriend adopt your 16-year-old daughter and place his name on her birth certificate without the consent of the child's biological father?
The biological father would have to voluntarily relinquish his rights or the court would have to terminate his parental rights to the minor child before the child could be adopted by anyone. FYI, in most cases the "boyfriend" could not adopt the minor child even if the biological father were to give up his parental rights. The mother of the child and her significant other generally have to be legally married before the court would allow an adoption to proceed. This mostly depends on whether your state recognizes your union in some way (some sort of civil union). Occasionally, some odd exceptions are granted (in Alaska, there was a petition where a 3rd person wanted to legally adopt a child, and the court granted it)
Does a nonbiological father have rights whose name is listed on the birth certificate?
I think that a paper with a signature should not be powerful enough to separate a creature from its creator. In this case, a father and an offspring. Legally, the father of that child is the person that signed the birth certificate, so no, the biological father does not have a right. Although, if you can get some type of blood test, then with the results you might have a chance to fight it off in court!

Are there any states that require a biological father to go through adoption proceedings if he and the mother marry after the baby's birth?
The biological father should have been put on the birth certificate to begin with so why would he have to adopt them. If he wasnt at birth, see if you can get the birth certificate to reflect the truth. You may need to get a DNA test results and bring it to the hospital where the baby was born. Adoption proceedings are costly and drawn out.
