Question: I have adopted my stepchild. If I now divorce the other parent, could I be obligated to support the child?
Answer: Yes. The law makes no distinction between biological obligation to support the child versus the adoptive parent having the same obligation. You accomplished an adoption, which created a parent-child relationship between you and the child, and presumably terminating the bio-dad's parental rights. Consequently you have a duty to support your child.
Another issue you bring up is the termination of your parental rights. Judges are unlikely to allow a termination under these circumstances. It is more likely the divorce would go through naming you as father with the obligation to support the child.
