More details to this question:
My daughter’s biological father has nothing to do with her. We were not married and he is not on the birth certificate. He has only seen her once. He does not pay child support. She was born in Georgia but we live in Alabama. My fiance are getting married and he would like to adopt her but I want to know does her biological have any say so? And which state would we file in?

In your case he would only have rights if he goes to superior court and legitimates the child. Of course he is entitled to notice to the adoption proceedings should you pursue it.
