You need YOUR marriage certificate showing you married the child's mother. I've deleted what is not necessary including the G325a for the child.

If you or your wife had prior marriages, include the evidence they were terminated. You don't need evidence of relationship for a stepchild other than evidence you married the mother and that she is actually the mother. Unless the child has a criminal record or is a drug user, they will receive the visa if their parent does.

A G1145 would be a nice addition as well.
