Can my stepfather adopt me?

Hello I am 18 years and have had stepfather who dad since I was six years. I've searched around a bit to find out about adoption over 18 years. The reason for this is that I want it on the paper that he is my father. I have better contact with him than my mother and would very happily adopted, but they must be married for this to go? They were divorced a few years ago, but he is still my father.



Your stepfather can apply to adopt you even if he divorced from your mother, but one of the conditions for stepchild adoption is when it is established only one parenthood for you, ie paternity case for various reasons is dismissed.
