Yes, I think you do. One exception to this is if the father has abandoned the child both physically and financially, for a given amount of time and you fulfill the states requirements for attempting to notify the absent parent - such as providing the father's last known addresses, addresses of last known employer, addresses of the father's family and/or friends. Taking out an attempt to notify notice in local paper.
Each states requirements are unique, once fulfilled you would petition the judge to terminate parental rights; if she/he agrees you would be able adopt the child.
