    His dad has to sign away his rights first, then you can adopt him. I think it goes something like your atty draws up the papers, the bio dad signs, then you go to the court and the judge does it. They had to ask me if I wanted to be adopted, etc. I was about his age so it's hard to remember. Good luck.
