A fiance cannot adopt.
You need to talk to an experienced family law attorney in your county that knows a lot about termination and step-parent adoption. Terminating a parent's rights is difficult if the parent won't voluntarily do it.
The subject is much to complex to try to address it in this email.
I've addressed it on my blog - www.txfamilylaw4u.blogspot.com in the past
