How do I file for a step dad to adopt a child?

I left my daughters father when she was 5 months old. She is now 15 months old and he has refused to help in any way in almost 8 months. I've been patient, tried only asking for maybe 15 dollars a week and he "couldn't" even do that. He lost his job. Won't get his ged. Won't get his permit to get his license. He is 25 years old. I've given him resources and lined up jobs for him that he just blew off. He has now been in Missouri for over a month because he had a "good job offered to him". He bragged about having the new Samsung galaxy cell phone but his daughter still hasn't received ANYTHING. We live in the state of GA. What would I have to do for my husband to be able to adopt my daughter? Her biological father signed the paternity acknowledgment paper in the hospital but has never actually been legitimized. Someone please help.
