How can my partner sdopt my daughter? We have been together since I was pregnant with her and now have a second child together. There isn't a fathers name on her birth certificate as her real father didn't want to know.

You need the written consent of the father. The adoption papers will ask the name of the father and not to list it would be to commit a crime.

If the father doesn't want any part of the child there should be no problem.

Most States require the adoptive parents to be married, in a stable relationship.

What State (or country)?
