    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/adopti...ml#post2045936

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