I have a different last name to my little brother, my mum did add the last name of her ex husband onto my name when they were together (not officially- It wasnt on any official documents I dont think) so I was able to just stop using it when I wanted.

How does your partner feel about maybe adopting your daughter and giving her his last name if it is of serious concern to you?xx
i think hed love 2 he treats her like shes his own but even tho Ebony hasnt saw her dad 4 about a year coz he said he didnt want anything else 2 do iv her wen his hew gf got pregnant i still think he wouldnt agree 2 it do i need 2 have his permission 2 do that? and also Ebony still goes 2 his parents 4 a night at the wkend and im not sure how they would react 2 it x
