Her husband made promises before that he will bring his stepson, thats why he applied 2 bedroom council house. At first, the wife wants his husband to adopt the child and use her husband surname. But they learned it cost a thousand £ and since then I heard no news from her.
why would he want to adopt him? he's already his step father. yes it cost alot to adopt, her son can change his name by deed poll when he is here..

http://www.ukdps.co.uk/CanIChangeMyChildrensNames.html cost less than £40 ..

he can then use his step fathers name, but he will not be able to change name on birth cert..

like i said, she has to get him here b4 hes 18..
