I agree that only a spouse can adopt her. If you and your boyfriend have been together for 5 1/2 - 6 years and he is wanting to adopt your daughter marriage really shouldn't be an issue.
The biological father may be all for it after you two have married - you and the boyfriend. This similar thing happened to me. My husband adopted my daughter 8 years ago. The biological father was so happy that he wouldn't have to pay child support anymore that he paid all attorney's fees and court fees himself and gave up his rights very willingly. Good luck to you.
