That would all depend upon what state you are in, what are the circumstances surrounding the adoption. Has the parental rights of natural parents been terminated? In Oklahoma if the child is under the age of 18, a natural parent has to be notified of adoption proceedings.

You need to consult with a local attorney who specializes in adoption who can review your situation and explain your options under the law in your jurisdiction. If the children have a long term relationship with the step-parent and no close relationship with their biological father the court may terminate the father’s rights and approve the adoption. You need expert advice.
I'm pretty sure that you have to have your dad sign over his rights.
There's no age limit if the non-custodial parent's parental rights can be terminated.
If not: 18
18
no law addressing it
No, as both signatures are needed for a passport.
No, you need both his and the courts consent.
No, only with parental consent or when you are 18.
you would have to take the matter to child services but i believe so.
Where in Georgia can you get married without parents consent
No, you will your parents' consent.
Legal adult age-18 without consent, since adoptive parents are still legally responsible until then.
Yes, because she is a minor it would be considered kidnapping. Response : I posted the question, and we have already contacted the police and they are looking into the code, but evidently it is NOT considered kidnapping because it was not against her will. I don't understand how it is illegal for a non-custodial parent to take his OWN child across state lines without the custodial parents consent, but a guy can take MY child across state lines without my consent? There is something wrong here......
No, she would need the consent of both parents or the parent who has full custodial rights (or a legal guardian). The exception is pregnancy, she then will not need parental consent but must present a statement to the court, from a licensed Georgia physician validating the pregnancy.
No. Only in Utah is his consent not needed, just a notification.
You can only get adopted if your parents put you into foster care so it is not possible
