My dad's father died when my dad was about four, and when my grandmother remarried, her husband adopted my dad and changed his last name. My dad has two siblings from the latter marriage as well. Never had any sorts of problems with his biological grandparents - actually we're closer to them than we are to his immediate family, but that's a long story.

I am made of poison.

I'd only change the name if he adopted the son legally.

I'm more interested in the feelings/needs of the child than the feelings of adults.

I personally believe the boy should keep his biological fathers last name no matter what *NM*

Are they changing his name to Clark Kent? If so, I don't think the kid will have a problem. *NM*
