I believe you need the consent of the biological father, his waiver or permission, or possibly an order of the court, if you cannot get consent.

It is permissible with court permission. However, it may not be allowed by the court. You should also question whether it is in the best interest of the children.

You would need the consent of the biological father and a court order.
