My babies father and I are getting married after our lil girl is born, and she'll have my last name until we get married, then shell have her dads. That or just take a dna test and she can have his last name right away, I dont know if its different down by you or not but if u do a dna test your baby can have his last name even if ur not married.

Hmm, all you gotta do is have the dad sign a noterized paper claming his is in fact the father and the baby can have his last name at birth

Yeah I know a lot of people who were/are not married and their kids have the father's last name. Even the parents who are not together and did not planning on being together still gave their child his last name.

Hey...I think she meant....What if she gives the baby her last name at birth, if they do decide to get married would the father have to adopt the baby for it to get the fathers last name? Does that makes sense?

Not sure what they would do. Maybe they would have to take a paternity test to show his is the father, and they will get it right away. Adoption takes time.

Well, if you have worked things out, why don't you just give the baby his last name, and let him sign the birth certificate.
