It is possible and has happened.
But what it comes down to is what does the judge say?
If the father doesn't consent you would need to bring a court action to terminate his parental rights. There must be compelling evidence to convince the court that he has abandoned the child or that he is an unfit parent. You need to convince the court that it would be in the best interest of the child to allow her to be legally adopted by her stepparent. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody and adoption issues.

yes biological fathers may seek visitation and custody rights
Only with the consent of whoever has custody of you.
yeah I believe you can, I think you get a choice when you are 13 which parent you want to live with
You indicate they have "Contact", but what is the status of Custody? If the Father has visitation, partial or shared custody, legal& or physical....No, you cannot change the Surname of the child without the Fathers explicit consent!!
IF THE MOTHER HAS SOLE CUSTODY
If there is a custody agreement in place through the courts, the mother cannot take the child out of state without the fathers consent. If there is no agreement in place, the mother does not have to have the fathers consent.
Then unless the biological father is ok with this and signs his rights over, the new husband has no legal rights to the child.
Unless the mother is unfit she will get the baby.
If there are court orders regarding visitation and child support and custody, you will need his and the courts consent. The court orders have to be followed.See related question link.
No. The father must consent.No. The father must consent.No. The father must consent.No. The father must consent.
If he has primary custody or even visitation rights, you cannot take his child far enough away that he cannot readily exercise his custody/visitation rights unless he gives you permission to do so.
