Tina,
I would get an attorney to handle this, but if you cannot afford one, you can try it yourself. Your local county court website would be a good place to start. You can usually get the forms from there or the Clerk's Office.
You want to be sure that the birthfather's rights are properly terminated which is why it is wise to have an attorney do this if you are not someone who is good with legal research.
I did my daughter's adoption myself so it can be done but only if you follow your state's laws on how to terminate dad's rights.
Good luck!
