If the court finds that the parent has been abusive or neglectful in the care of a minor child it can terminate all rights of said parent and after the time required under state law has expired the child can be placed for adoption.

If there is not an issue as described above a biological father cannot be forced to relinquish his rights to his child/children so they become eligible for adoption either by a new spouse or other involved party.

That is a decision made by the court. A court can grant a partial or complete Termination of Parental Rights if the judge feels it is warranted for reasons other than said parent is relieved of his or her financial obligation to their minor child/children. Generally voluntary TPR's (those requested by a parent) are only granted when a child is being legally adopted.
