No contact with foreign parent - how to fill out forms?

I'm struggling in particular with Duke's additional requirements with the CSS Profile. It's requiring all sorts of info, but I don't even know where my biological father lives beyond the country he's in.
I'm an American citizen because of my stepdad, but my stepdad never legally adopted me because of all the extra fees that would've incurred on top of all the immigration stuff (but he did qualify to adopt me - which would've expedited my citizenship - because I guess the US didn't recognize my dad anymore once I became a permanent resident, I think).
The other schools I've been accepted to either haven't published their financial aid apps yet or only require the FAFSA, so I really don't know what to do especially if the info on my biological dad will be required.
