Hiya!
I was reading the thread over in 'General' about people having different surnames to their children and it has made me suddenly consider surnames which is something I had never thought about before...
My hubby and I have different surnames, purely my choice - I love my surname (much more than his
) and had been adamant since I was a child that I would not change my surname when I married. Luckily I have a hubby who is not a macho man and he wasn't bothered by it at all ![Thumb up :thumbup: :thumbup:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/good.gif)
However...we are now thinking about starting our adoption journey, and I wondered what the Social Workers views on this would be. The child/ren would probably have my surname - would this be frowned upon? I really don't want to change my surname, and I would struggle to double barrel, but Hubby and I would if we were asked too.
This probably seems a rather a non issue but after hearing so many negative things against SS i'm trying to iron out absolutely everything that they could possibly mark against us before we apply!
