Hmm, I know for a fact that in Texas both the biological mother, the biological father, the legally married husband, and the legally married wife all need to legally sign away their rights to the child. The mother cant do it on her own.
I believe that Texas allows use of a web-based putative father registry (which NO ONE ever checks) with a defined time limit, after which no response is taken as consent. That would only be pertinent if there were no husband involved. There must have been some lying gong on somewhere.

When we adopted our daughter - here in Texas - there were three signatures required to surrender rights.
1. The birth mother.
2. The birth father.
3. The birth mother’s husband who is by law presumed to be the father. (He wasn’t, but he still had rights).
