[quote=Anonymous]I was adopted by my beloved stepfather at a very early age and loved my adoptive father (RIP) very much and was closer to him than I ever was to my bio dad. I agreed to be adopted but I never felt “at home” with his name and when I became an adult I opted to return to my birth name. I would advocate for whatever name your DS feels “at home” with. For me that involved a wider family/clan and cultural identity than simply the father figure involved. Your DS might have different criteria for what that means to him. Best wishes to your family![/quote]
