This appeal arises from a judgment entered by the Jefferson Probate Court denying a petition in which J.L.P. ("the stepfather"), the husband of J.S.P. ("the mother"), sought to adopt the mother's minor child, A.I.S. ("the child"). Because the biological father of the child, L.A.M. ("the father"), has not given consent to the adoption, as is required under Alabama law, we affirm the probate court's judgment.
