The most common example is a step father adopting his wife's child from a prior relationship. In these cases, a Complaint must be filed in the Superior Court by the person (plaintiff) who wishes to adopt the child. Visit that website it could provide you some answers. I am in search of the same answers you are. Good luck

I'm in the process
I'm in the middle of a Step Parent adoption right now. Basically there are limited options.
1 - the best option - get the bio dad to sign his rights away. This is easiest. 2 - Take him to court to have his rights revoked. This is what we had to do. We hired a lawyer and I highly recommend it. The bio dad was served with papers, and he didn't respond, so he loses by default. We just had our home visit, and this whole thing should be wrapped up soon. Any specific questions, please feel free to ask. I'm no legal expert, but I can tell you what my personal experience has been.
