Only if the birth father's parental rights are terminated (legally)
If the birth father disappears, you may be able to have his rights terminated due to abandonment, but there's no guarantee that this will be granted.

How does your dad adopt you?
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.
