I was adopted by my step-father when I was 7, three years later my mother divorced and remarried within a year. My step-father who adopted me did not want anything to do with me after he divorced my mother. So until I married, my last name was not my birthname nor the last name of my mom, my second step-father or my step-sister. The name has no meaning and I want to rid of it. When I was 22 I reunited with my birthfather and have since had a great relationship with him for the last fifteen years. I want my birth certificate to reflect my birthfather's name. I was born in Virginia. Any advice on how I go about doing this?? My birth father wants this as well.
