You tell him that you would want him to adopt you. Step parent adoption is a fairly easy process particularly in cases where one biological parent does not have a relationship.

Have you spoken to your parents about it?

You don't/can't do anything. If your stepfather wants to adopt you he must file the appropriate legal papers. How old are you?

This should be combined with your other thread - https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/adoption/iwantmydadsobadwhat-do-do-408638.html#post2045936

The first step would be for your parents to contact a local lawyer.
