[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are in the process of adopting a kid from foster care. We got married a few years ago, and we both kept our last names. We're not really interested in changing them. Wondering if we should give the kid a hyphenated last name of both of our last names, pick one of ours, or let the kid keep his or her last name (it's an older kid from foster care, so -- unlike with an infant -- we're going to have to discuss it with them). Anyway, I'm interested in hearing what other LGBT adoptive parents in similar situations have used for their kids' last names, in addition to any other helpful thoughts/insights you might have into this issue or the process you used to discuss the issue with your kid. Thanks![/quote]
