I'm in Michigan and the way that we handled that was by calling the "County Court" where we live.They hooked us up with the Family Courts.

You have to be married (at least in our state) for one year and then there is an 'application' process. It took a few months to get completed as we had to "petition the court" to terminate the parental rights of the bio father that had nothing to do with the child. All in all there were 3 court visits and only about $125 in fees. A fairly easy process.
