[quote=Anonymous]My vote is to change his name (and yours) to your new husband’s/dad’s last name. And I am a woman who’s kept her name while my kids have my husbands name. Your creating a new family and your boy is going to have a dad for the first time. Make it a big deal and make it special. We’re in Los Angeles so it might be different where you live but going to the courthouse and signing the final adoption papers is a joyful big deal. LA devoted one day a month to adoptions and no other business so the waiting room is also joy-filled and festive with family and friends. Adding his new dad’s name to his on this day would be lovely!! All the best, OP! [/quote]
