I am 21 weeks pg with my third. It is mine and hubbies second, but I also have a son from a previouse relationship.

My son has never known his biological father, we split up when he was 6 months due to my ex being very violent and a drug addict. But now my son is almost 8 and he is asking qustions about why he has a different surname to the rest of us. He has my maiden name.

When hubby and I looked into him adopting my son, it all sounded really complicted, involving social workers and getting in touch with my ex.

I was just wondering if any one else has been in the same situation and how you dealt with it?

Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Zoey. Been thinking about the deed poll thing, thats how hes got my maiden name. How are you feeling now about having a girl? I really like the name Ruby, Scarlett is a possability for our pink bump.

    Cheers hun, its just so stressfull at the moment. And I know some day I will have to explaine to him about the biological one, but I feel he is to young right now. Its just people are putting pressure on me and saying he needs to know. I have been with my hubby since he was 10 months and he is the only father hes known.

    It feels like this is the only place I can talk about it.

    Just been on the deed poll web site and the application forms should be here in a couple of days. Thanks again Zoey, now all I have to do is sort out a will.

    My friends mum changed her name to her married name without the adoption as she found it less stressful. Maybe that's an option?
