    You start with getting the poor girl counseling.

    Then you get a lawyer.

    Then--probably--you get married to the babydaddy.

    No greenies left for Syn this week, but yeah... you are going to need to be married. Only then will babymommy be able to sign over rights and you adopt.

    Yes, there are cases on record when non-married couples are allowed to adopt, but unless you are together for 20 years, chances are you will need to be married - sometimes for 1+ years.
