Hey Mom - go see an adoption attorney. You should be able to have the paperwork drawn up and the attorney can get your ex's signature on the relinquishment forms, or whatever else is needed. It doesn't sound like you'll have a problem with getting him to sign, so go for it. And speak with your son about the name change. He doesn't have to have it changed, but why on earth would he want to keep the last name of such a loser? It sounds like your current husband is a much better role model for your son to follow in the foot steps of.
I'm going through this right now and it is costing about $1000 to finalize. If you are good with legal jargon, then you might want to try it yourself and then you'll only have the $40 filing fee and a possibly a couple other inexpensive fees.
Good luck with everything.
Renee
