    If you want a step-parent adoption, you have to get married first, and stay married at least 6 months to show stability.

    If bio dad is legal dad, you will need his consent to sign off on adoption.

    The court says hes not LEGAL dad because he refused to sign birth vertuficates at birth and has nothinf to do with them over 4 years so he gave up his right that way

    So you have a court order terminating dad's rights? Was dad notified of the court action that led to this?

    No, he has not "given up his rights".

    I suggest you sit down with a local adoption attorney who will explain reality to you.
