I have tried and tried to have kids after many failed attempts and miscarriages, my husband and I decided to look into adoption both my husband and I were turned down due to felony convictions, a couple years later my sister n law calls us up and tells us about a good friend of hers was 8 and 1/2 months preg. And would not be able to keep the baby due to drug addiction and also having a previous cps case opened, the mother was unsure who the father was it was a toss up between 7 or 8 different possibilities which 7 out of the 8 refused or did not want to have any part of the baby the one possibility who did step up and was at the hospital talked with my husband and I he to was not able to provide for the child and was out on bail. Remind you she was 8 1/2 months preg when I started talking to her so due to her being so far along we had nothing planned no court papers no adoption papers nothing ready. When the baby boy was born we all came to the decision to have my husband sign the birth certificate as the father and the mother signed obviously as mother well my son is now 3 years old biological mother has not contacted us or even seen our baby boy since she was released from the hospital which she was released before my son was due to drugs being in his system. My husband has now fallen off the wagon using drugs disappearing for days at a time make our life's hell for the last year and half I have tried getting him help and nothing is working and I have had enough but I am scared to divorce him because he threatens to take my son away tells me my name is on the birth cert you have no grounds to stand your not his mother on birth cert. So on and so forth he is not capable of raising him at the moment but with me having no rights to him he can take him and leave. I have contacted biological mother and she is willing to sign off on her rights is willing to sign anything need be to get me on the birth cert. What steps and forms do I need to make this happen
