Most often, the person who's going to be the new father/mother files the petition. Of course, the person who already is the mother/father and is married to the new father/mother has to give their permission.

Reading and understanding the law is important. It can seem to be confusing, but it's just very detailed, but very systematic. Work with it, ready slowly, highlight important parts, etc...
