Can you get custody of your stepdaughter with out the biological fathers consent?
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. See related question link.
