How do I go about having my future husband adopt my son who has an unknown biological father?
You need an attorney. They will have to post through the courts for anyone who might be the father.
Can my husband who is not the father of my unborn child sign the birth certificate?
yes,i think your husband can adopt your child.Without notification, the father can challenge. The man need not have ever signed or seen the birth certificate to still be ordered to pay child support.
If the biological father has no rights do you need his permission when adopting the child when marrying the biological mother?
You need to see a lawyer. Look for "Legal Aid" in your state as they offer free or low-cost legal advice. If someone is the "biological" father, he doesn't adopt the child, it is his child. He is legally obligated (in the USA) to provide support (money) for the child's needs. The only exception is if the mother was married to another man at the time of the birth, then legally the husband is considered the baby's father (even if everyone knows and admits that the other man is the baby's biological father). If you're asking whether the biological father can be forced to take care of the child in his own house, the answer is "no" he can give up his parental rights to the child. If you're asking whether the biological father can take the child away from the mother and her boyfriend/husband, the answer is "maybe" if he can PROVE to a court that the baby's mother is unfit and he (the biological father) is a better parent. If the father WANTS to be involved in the baby's life even though the mother has a new boyfriend/husband, the father MUST be allowed to have visitation with his child. Not allowing him to see the child may cause the courts to consider the mother not fit to raise the child. Again, GET LEGAL ADVICE from a lawyer.

Can your new husband adopt your kids if their father is not active in their life?

You may attempt to contact the biological father to request he give up his parental rights. If he is willing to do this, any family law attorney can process the paperwork. If you are unable to contact the father, you can petition the courts to terminate his rights as an absentee. Again, a competent family law attorney can process this for you.

How does your dad adopt you?
Your actual father (biological father or husband of your mother at the time of your birth) does not need to adopt you; you are already his child.

The answers to these questions differ greatly from state to state and country to country.
