If you file for termination and adoption, all you have to do is show you served the prisoner. Each court is different, so once the suit is filed, work with the coordinator to make sure you provide the service of citation in the manner acceptable to the court. If the bio dad won't sign a voluntary relinquishment of his parental rights, you would have a hearing asking the judge to terminate the rights.
