First you don't file any charges for abandoment, in face in many states in the US merely not seeing the child or not paying child support is not grounds to take their rights away.
It is a crime not to pay the court ordered child support, so if the bio father has never paid child support
( and that support was court ordered) you should check with the DA about what can be done. Again that does not take their rights away.
The bio father in an adoption will have to sign over their rights, once in a while, a judge may allow it without permission but it will be a much harder court battle
