[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Makes sense for new DH to change his name to OP's and son's name.  Is new DH so superior he can't do that?[/quote]

That’s ridiculous.  It’s not OP’s name - just the dead father’s name.  The child is six not sixteen and probably can’t even write his name yet.  [/quote]

Dead or not, he's still the child's father.

What makes the most sense is for the child to have two last names, no hyphen or two middle names.  You don't have to take away the name to add another.[/quote]

My kids are adopted and hand have a living father out there.  Should I have kept his name for them too?  This new husband is adopting OP’s son and will be the only father he has ever known.

I’m so surprised on a site for adoptive parents that so many are defending the name of the father who died before the little boy was born. [/quote]

This is a stepparent adoption. Different.  We kept a lot of our child’s name when adopting.  [/quote]
