No, in order to have a step parent adoption, the birth father's parental rights must be permanently terminated.
If you can have the biological father voluntarily sign a consent to the adoption and termination of his rights, this is helpful. Otherwise, you would need to file a petition with the Orphans Court in your county for an involuntary termination of the biological father's rights based on the PA code (reasons can be no contact, no support, etc.). Best to consult an attorney for the filing of the paperwork. You and your spouse (step-parent) will be subject to a federal background check.
In most jurisdictions world-wide, adoption terminates the responsibility of the biological parent(s) to pay support. This is effective from the start of the adoption. Technically, it is effective at the instant the court order for the adoption is signed. While the adoption process is underway, but not finalized, the biological parent(s) is still obliged to maintain the child.
Is he actually the father, or are you planning to commit paternity fraud?

Whether or not the biological father still pays support until the adoption is final depends on the state of residence and the agreement that is in place. Typically the answer is yes, he must still pay support until the adoption is final.
Provided there's clear evidence of a proper service, than yes.
If he has adopted her then he is her father and has all of the biological fathers rights transferred to him at adoption. If adopted yes
Since losing them can include not paying support, it can only be done if an adoption is the intent.
Open adoption is when the biological mother/father, and their child are still allowed to meet and see eachother, even after the adoption process is complete. Closed adoption is when the biological mother/father of the baby can see their child for a year after the adoption. They can send pictures, letters, etc. After the one year, they have no contact with them, until the child is 18.
yes, unless he has a restraining order against you.
The first step is to contact a Family law lawyer, they will then walk you through the necessary steps such as terminating the rights of the biological father (or assisting you with the paperwork necessary for the biological father to sign his rights away) you will then go to court for the final adoption paperwork and voila! It's all usually very simple as long as your daughter's biological father does not contest it.

You would be notified if there is any court proceeding involving the adoption of your biological child unless your parental rights have already been terminated. In that case you need to ask the father since adoption records are generally sealed.You would be notified if there is any court proceeding involving the adoption of your biological child unless your parental rights have already been terminated.

Except in an adoption, there is no such person as a "non biological father." The only man who should be signing a birth certificate is the child's biological father. Any other man who signs it is making an illegal statement.
