Not only is it legal it is the humanitarian right course of action. In the United States, sadly the majority of children who are ( put up) for adoption were abandoned by their parents. War and accident orphans do occur, but are in the minority.

Can you adopt your husband's child?

It really isn't necessary. It's usually when a man marries a woman with a child that he may want to give the child HIS last name. If there is no mother in the picture then by all means seek legal counsel and adopt the child, but I think it's a waste of money. The child will know you as their mother no matter what.
