Only if that child has no other biological, blood relatives living at all. And only if that female friend is the God mother of that child, then yes. Other wise, no.
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
You would need to have the birth father's parental rights legally terminated. This can be done eithervoluntarily: he signs the paperwork.or involuntarily; this is difficult, and whether it is possible at all varies from state to state.
I would say you can, because my friends moms boyfriend adopted her.Yes, you can adopt your girlfriend's daughter even if the father lives in the same town or city and refuses to pay child support or see his child.
You cannot be adopted at 17 years old. Why would they want to adopt the father of their daughter's baby?
If it's established who the biological father is, regardless what name is on the birth certificate, he will have to give up his parental rights in order for someone else to adopt the child. He can also go to court and have the name on the birth certificate changed to his.

now a stepfather can't adopt a child without the concent of the child's father
No she did not adopt him thats his real mother and father
I believe that you would have to go to your town or state house and get the paper work. I think it would be the same as adopting a child who isn't your girlfriends. It may also depend on the state the child resides in and if the father still has child rights to the kid. You may then have to custody battle the father (these is a rare case and the father, whom of which does not want anything to do with the child, should easyly give up his rights)
no
He doesn't have to adopt the baby. He's already the legal father.
Your actual father (biological father or husband of your mother at the time of your birth) does not need to adopt you; you are already his child. What is usually more relevant is "how does your step-father adopt you" or "how does your dad get exclusive custody of you." The answers to these questions differ greatly from state to state and country to country.
