i have a 5 yr old son back at home and m planning to bring him over by next year.eventually i would like him to be adopted to my husband who is british which will also change his surname into my husbands surname.my son's surname is my maiden name since we didnt get married with his bio father and before i gave birth to him we broke up already with his father so i dont really have contact with hime ever since which i dont care.anyway how long is the adoption process and how much will it cost and i think he will have his surname changed once he is being adopted i presume! i want to know early about this for the future.if anyone could give some ideas about this that will be brilliant...thanks!!!
