Not until the parental rights of the biological father have been terminated.
There are a couple ways to do that:
- The bio father gives his consent and voluntarily surrenders his parental rights.
- You go to court and can get them to involuntarily terminate his parental rights; this one is much more difficult: if the bio father has abandoned the child, isn't paying child support, is in jail or is a danger to the child (or something similar), you may have a case, but if he's visiting and paying support you will have to go with the first option.

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.
I am married but separated from my husband we have a 1 year old child and I have custody with no order What are your legal rights until you get a custody order you live in MN?
You now only have physical custody, but both you and your husband have equal custody rights to the child. That means he has a right to have physical custody too, and will not get into any trouble if he physically takes the child into his care. If you are afraid he might take the child, you will need to obtain a temporary custody order, signed by a judge, to make sure you become the custodial parent. That said, depending on your husband, the longer you have physical custody of the child, the more difficult it will be for your husband to obtain legal custody should you divorce.
Can your ex wifes husband adopt your 18 year old daughter without your permission?
Normally, when a married couple are divorced, and there is a child involved, the court will issue a ruling about who has custody. A mother may lose custody if she has been deemed by the court to be an unfit mother or a danger to the child, in which case the ex-husband would gain sole custody. If no such ruling has been made, then the ex-husband would have no right to simply take the child without permission. That is a form of kidnapping.
