No, only genetic father has right to give a child in adoption. If your previous husband gives these children in adoption to your new husband then only it is possible. However if ur pre. husband dies then you would get the right to give adoption.

And moreover your children are above the age of 15 so adoption is not allowed in given circumstances as well.
