A step parent can be a legal parent. What are you trying to do or enter?
For the IRS federal income taxes, a step-parent has the same right to claim a dependent as a biological parent, even if the stepparent did not formally adopt the child.
However, we don't know what you are filling out, so if it is not taxes, you would need to check with the laws or regulations that apply in your state to whatever program you are documenting.
