Which father's name goes on G-325A?

[Kukolka 8]

When my fiance was a child, his stepfather adopted him. His biological father gave up his rights to his children.

My fiance and his mother believe his birth certificate has his stepdad's name listed as his father. The only copy of his birth certificate that he has in his possession is a wallet card that does not have fields listing parents.

When the G-325A asks for the name of his father, do they want the name of his legal adoptive father (his stepdad) or his biological father?

My thought was to list his adoptive (step) father in the fields asking for father's information, and include a supplement like we do for other fields that are too long to fit, explaining the situation and listing the same asked-for information about his biological father. Would this be acceptable?

I would obtain the long form birth certificate as it is needed later anyway. Then use the father's name consistent with the actual birth certificate.

I'd do a combination of what you suggest and Pushbrk's suggestion - put whatever is on his long form birth cert on the form, but also put "see attachment" which includes an explanation & other man's name. I don't see how adding more information could hurt if it can prevent confusion/RFE from the adjudicator. Include supporting evidence like adoption cert. and such.

Thank you, I will go this route.
