he can agree to a termination of parental rights/stepparent adoption once you have been married at least a year. However, a judge may order a DNA test if the BC is the only document you have stating that he is the father. Did you all sign an acknowledgement of paternity? If not, chances are teh judge may order the DNA test and then if he is not the dad- you have to start all over

The guy not on the BC wants nothing to do with my son. So what does it mean for us if the DNA proves he is the father?
Can he sign his rights overto my fiance?

What it does is proves who the father is - AFTER YOU GET MARRIED and remain married for over a year - you can start the parental rights termiantion/adoption proceedings.

By the way you said "the guy on the B/C doesn't want anything to do with him" but then you said he see's him one weekend a month - which is it???

No, she said the guy who is NOT on the birth certificate doesn't want anything to do with him.

Sounds to me that Mom wants to extricate the legal dad, the guy she chose at the time, who IS involved, and replace him with her current guy-du-jour.

If dad has been legal dad all these years, and acted as such, mom cannot now replace oust legal dad by getting a DNA test.
