My answer would be No, but a single person can adopt with no problem. The married couple is looked at as one, and both have to agree. * No, fortunately. There is no court in the land that would allow an adoption under such circumstances. The idea of a child being placed in a home where only one of the individuals was agreeable to the idea is counterproductive to the entire purpose of adoption.
Yes, when the father's parental rights are terminated.
The only way you can adopt a child is that you have no child of your own at all. I have 2 girls of my own and live in america. my husband wanted to adopt a child in Iran. You also need to have a house or a land under the child's name in order to adopt a child.
no
This depends on whether the child's father also allows it.
No, if you are married you cannot adopt unless both of you are willing to adopt.
The father would need to legally give up his rights to the child or the court would have to take them away in order for the new husband to adopt the child.
No your new husband can't adopt your children if there dad is active in there life and pays you support. Why would you want to do that?
The child's father is going to have to give up his rights first. You cannot adopt a child, if both parents do not agree.

She had the baby herself -- although she did get a capable assist from her husband Clint Black
No. The biological father can give up his rights and if your husband then want to be more than a step parent, who have no rights to the child, can adopt your child. Or not, that is your choice as the parent.
There is no reason why you cannot adopt for whatever reason, whether single, divorced, or married. However, if the reason for adoption is access to benefits through your husband, then HE would need to adopt the child. This sounds unlikely.
