ByQuestion by American Woman: (mh) Is it wrong for a step dad to take away his step son’s identity/last name?
I know a kid who’s parents went through a divorce and his step dad (the only dad he ever knew from 8 months old) took away his last name (when the boy was 15) claiming it wasn’t “a legal adoption” and the boy wasn’t acting like a (last name) because he wasn’t handling the divorce so well. I believe this man with drew this boys identity the only name he ever knew. Interesting however, this step dad was adopted and this last name isn’t even his by blood. I don’t get how someone can do this to a child.

If the boy wants his name back, he should wait till he’s of legal age so he can legally change it to whatever he wants with the least amount of resistance and trouble to himself.
