[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the women who think that if you don't change your name, or have the same last name as a family -- that you will encounter major logistical hassles, etc. - do you have any evidence to support this?

I have traveled A LOT with my kids, having lived overseas most of their lives, and have literally never had a bureaucratic or logitical issue. I can't recall any time I've literally ever had an issue (other than people calling me Mrs Kidslastname, which I don't care about) at all in fact. I have three teenagers and a younger child, and have traveled a LOT overseas, so have had ample oppotunities.[/quote]

Same, OP.  My kid has spouse’s last name and I kept mine.  Never an issue.  Kid born overseas, but has mostly grown up in the US.  We travel a lot and it has never been an issue – it has never come up at all.  Kind was a late/reluctant talker, so when i’d travel alone with him as a preschooler (that awkward time period when he still had a newborn photo in his passport, but was under 5yo), I brought his birth certificate with us, figuring he may or may not answer the standard immigration questions, but stopped bothering as soon as he started talking.

People should do whatever they want, but just know that it isn’t an issue to have multiple names in a family.[/quote]
