Have you checked for a birth certificate under your birth name and showing your birth father AND under your stepfather's last name? I suspect that you were never actually adopted by your stepfather, but that your mother just changed your last name to his. Otherwise, I do not see how your biological father could have obtained custody.

Also, you have to be certain just where you were born as well.

You were born in the early 70s but 40 years ago you needed your birth certificate to obtain a driver's license?
