What are the laws concerning a stepparent adoption?

I just recently married and my wife has a daughter age 14. The bio father has had nothing to do with them in all that time and my wife receives NO money for her daughter ever. Wanted to know what the laws were on adopting her daughter as the stepfather. Does my wife still need to get permission from the bio father even though he's never been a part of their lives? And how much does an adoption like this typically cost in louisiana?
