The first step is to contact a Family law lawyer, they will then walk you through the necessary steps such as terminating the rights of the biological father (or assisting you with the paperwork necessary for the biological father to sign his rights away) you will then go to court for the final adoption paperwork and voila!

Get a lawyer and present your case before a judge. You both need to sign the papers.
