I couldnt find it, sorry.
I suggest go to the nearest Masjid and ask them.
If there are no Masjids near you, then as a precaution, do not make the stepfather, a wali.

There is NO need of a wali !
The sharia u r quoting is not from the Quran. It is man made fabrications !

Where does it say in the Qur'an and Sahih hadiths that a girl born out of wedlock cannot use her father as her wali in marriage? I don't think a step father counts as your mahram anyway because they are not related to you by blood. From Muharramat Forbidden Matters Some People Take Lightly by Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid:
Conditions of a Mahram:
1. Muslim
2. Male
3. Of sound mind (meaning free from mental illness, depression, and insanity)
4. Over the age of puberty

Where does Qur'an say that?
And yes a stepfather can be a wali. Use of wali is a cultural tradition, it is not proscribed by Qur'an.
