What rights are you asking about, and why has he had no contact? In 60% of the cases, have been denied access to the children and after several attempts to get the orders enforce, finally give up trying. Don't assume you know why he has not had contact until you have spoken with him directly.

yes, unless he has a restraining order against you.
if the father is known then you have toget permission if not then see a solicitor ive been there if you dont want to contact the biological father you could always change name by depol hope this helps also if the father pays maintenance this would stop if adopted child or you could ask the biological father to sign over the rights and he then does not pay maintenance
You may attempt to contact the biological father to request he give up his parental rights. If he is willing to do this, any family law attorney can process the paperwork. If you are unable to contact the father, you can petition the courts to terminate his rights as an absentee. Again, a competent family law attorney can process this for you.
Then unless the biological father is ok with this and signs his rights over, the new husband has no legal rights to the child.
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! It's all usually very simple as long as your daughter's biological father does not contest it.

The biological father have to give up his parental rights or this will not be possible. If he is an illegal immigrant he can still have paternal rights in the US. Once his rights are terminated you can apply for adoption.
