Better not do it. The one who did NOT want to adopt the child may resent the child and treat him/her badly. That would be very unfair to the child.
You may want to see a professional for advice on resolving the issue. The parent who wants a child may feel resentful if the couple does not ever have children. And the parent who does NOT want a child may feel trapped by having a child.

How do you adopt child from previous annulled marriage?
An annulment dissolves the marriage as though it had never taken place. If two unmarried people have a child one does not need to adopt the child to be its legal parent. If it was your marriage and is your child the annulment doesn't affect your position as the child's parent. An adoption isn't necessary. You should consult with an attorney. On the other hand, if you wish to adopt a child from your present spouse's annulled marriage to another person then the child's other parent must consent to the adoption.
