My husband and I are hoping to adopt a baby from an unmarried single mom. Can my husband sign the birth certificate as the legal father to ensure his rights until a complete adoption can be finalized? The birth mom (and her boyfriend/biological father) have absolutely no interest in keeping the baby once he/she is born.

Iam trying to find my adopted brother. My mom gave him up for adoption back in may of 1982. he will be almost 31 here pretty soon. all i know it was a closed adoption. I just want to know. If only i could find him for my mom for mothers day that would be the best gift I could give her.
My mom has never stopped wondering if he went to a good home, is he happy. Please if someone could help me. that would be great
