Dear Cameron:
You can be adopted by your stepmother. However, it will require that either your biological mother consents or there is a termination of her parental rights, which is usually based on abuse, abandonment or neglect. Your stepmother would have to file the petition, joined by your father.
If your father and stepmother wish to do this they can find the instructions and form for the petition at https://www.flcourts.org/content/download/403293/3458092/981b1.pdf. Once they read this they should probably have a better grasp on whether they will be successful in having your biological mother terminate her rights.
Best of luck to you and your family.
