    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    [ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]

    Short Answer:

    'Yes', that can be appropriate, provided the Child was part of the Family with their Mother and Step Father.

    I hope that this helps.

    Furthermore ...

    Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':

    Policies for sealing deceased children to deceased parents

    How do I seal a child to grandparents?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-seal-a-child-to-grandparents

    Can a child be sealed to parents when one of the parent’s names is unknown?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/sealing-to-parent-ordinance-when-name-of-parent-is-unknown

    I hope these may help, somewhat.
