    No one can adopt a child without agreement or termination of parental rights through court. You have to file in court for TPR.

    I strongly urge that you hire an attorney to process the adoption petition. If the bio father will sign a relinquishment of parental rights as part of the adoption, this should be easy an inexpensive. However, if he refuses, then you have to make sure the adoption petition is prepared fully legally.

    In your situation it is highly likely that a court will agree to the adoption whether the bio father agrees or not, but the bio father needs to be contacted and his agreement solicited.
