no, i've not adopted him, he should keep his family name, he kept his moms maiden name, and not his father surname, his dad lives in the usa, and only has seen him a few times, and dosnt support him in anyway, i got a letter from his dad stating he had little contact with him, and he didnt support him and also he wanted his son to live in the uk so he would be with his mom and sister., i used the letter to get him a visa in the first place. looks like i'll be using it again
