I don't think it matters who files. I think I'd agree with you though, if he's that serious, let him do it. I don't know what has to be in place on your end though, if anything. For some reason I think the adoption papers (for the step parent adoption) should be in place, but I may be wrong.
My friend just did this last week. Her child's father signed surrenders so her fiance could adopt her. He signed the forms and she filed them. And she's been in touch with the office that will be handling this for them and the office is helping her through.
He signed the surrenders and I believe she's submitting them with the forms for intent to adopt. Actually, now that I think about it, I think that's how she has to do it.
So.... I'm changing my answer. LOL! I think you might have to file them.
