In Ohio, you would want to contact a family law attorney to get this going. It isn't something that you would want to try to handle yourself if you want it done correctly. If the bio father is on board with allowing you to adopt and if he is willing to sign of on it, then it should not be too difficult. Call you local bar association for a referral to an attorney who practices in family law in your area.
