    Consult a Family Law Attorney. I would not do an adoption without an attorney.

    The attorney can tell you whether there is a waiting period for how long you need to be married and what will be necessary to have the bio father's rights terminated. You will have to attempt to get the bio father to agree or find grounds to terminate his rights. Again, reasons you need an attorney.
