More details to this question:
I have been married to my husband for 5 years. I want to adopt my 6 year old step son who i have been taking care of since he was 3 months old. His biological mom who never sees him would never give her consent. Is there a way i can do it without her consent

Yes, you would petition the Court for an invovluntary termination of the mother's rights (see Revised Code of Washington section 26.33.120 for the factual circumstances under which this can be done) and a petition for adoption.
