i am planning to adopt as a single mom. however, i was wondering if the child automatically gets my last name? or can i use a differnet one...
i have 1 biological son. his father and i are not together. however, his father wants to play a role in both the children's lives. he would not be legally adopting though. (and unmarried couples cant adopt internationally anyways)
i would like for both of my children to have the same last name. (plus it is an easier name) my ex has no problem with me using his last name. am i able to name an adopted child with it and not mine?
thanks!
