Yes, as long as her real dad is willing to allow it, and I believe that he would have to sign papers..

One thing to consider. Does he pay child suppor for her. If he signs her over to her step Dad, and your husband adopts her then he will not be obligated to pay child support.

I doubt the she wil regret it, most girls get their names changed when they marry anyway.

My two youngest girls were only 3 when their Dad left the picture, and the used to sign their names with their step dads last name when they were in school. I was getting child support and needed it or I would have allowed them to change it legally.

All 4 of my younger girls call my husband "Dad", only one of them has any contact with their "sperm doner".
