How do I adopt step child

How do I go about adopting my stepson? His father lives out of state and is not on the Birth Certificate , nor has he paid child support or has my wife ever asked for child support.

How do I start this rolling?

Re: How do I adopt step child

You will need to have the father relinquish his parental rights or have the court terminate his rights and then go through the regular adoption process. You will likely want to use an attorney.
