TX - Second parent or Step Parent Adoption?

[nh3]

What is the name of your state? TX

My wife is the adoptive mother of a foreign child (she adopted as a single mother). We married after she completed the adoption. Our intent is for me to become the childs legal father. Do I want to file for a second parent adoption, or a single parent adoption?
thanks.

Step-parent adoption

I gave birth do my daughter 13 years ago when I was 17. I did not know the father and his name is not on her birth certificate. My husband wants to adopt her now. What are the procedures to do this?

Right, which is why I posted a new thread. I replied to this one before I realized I should start a new thread. This is my first time on this forum. Thank you for your reply.
