Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I am in a situation in which my son's biological father is not in the picture. He wasn't at the hospital when my son was born nor did he sign the birth certificate or try to make contact with us. i have no knowledge of his location. my question is, is it possible for my fiance to adopt my son. If so what are the steps

You and your fiance should get married first.
Then you file a suit for termination (of Dad's rights) and adoption (by the stepfather). Plan to give a lawyer about $4,000.00.
