My husband wants to adopt my daughter. There is no father listed on the birth certificate, but she does have the last name of the biological father on their. The biological father does not pay child support and does not have any contact with us. Last time he saw her she was 6 months old. She is now 3. Does he have rights?

To do all that you want to do, you need to serve him and give him notice. I think that to be sure, you should contact an attorney.
