No, I would not go down that route, i.e., "type something up on the computer".
Far better for you to arrange for a consultation with an attorney who handles
adoption matters in the court in which this adoption will occur to determine
exactly what kind of document terminating the biological father's parental rights that this court is likely to find acceptable.
