If your parents can produce a valid marriage certificate that is dated prior to you turning 18, then your stepdad can sponsor you for a green card, provided you are not married. That is the general rule. Every situation is unique so to make sure of your riights to acquire permanent resident status, discuss your case in private with counsel. Dont delay!
