In just about all cases, the bio-father must be notified. You would file where you and your son live now. Many people have their own opinions about having a lawyer for a step-parent adoption, but I am one who wouldn't have been able to do it without a lawyer. I didn't want to take any chances of whether or not I was doing everything correctly and I didn't want to risk making an error so that the bio-father could come back later and then say that the adoption was void because of a mistake. Good luck!
