In adoption the person is formally recognizing the child as theirs, and the name change is appropriate, barring adoption that hasn't taken place and to take the surname would be inappropriate.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
