Ladies I need opinions. My daughter's donor is MIA . He has been to one appointment and I haven't talked to him in months. Her Godparents and I both agree that if he isn't there now he shouldn't be there at all. I don't want her to have mine or her dad's last name because I want nothing to do with someone who wants nothing to do with us . BUT I did get connected with someone again who is on an extended vacation. And won't be home for a while but his family will help . Who should she have the last name of ?

I would 100% give the child my last name. If the person on vacation married me and adopted my child then I would consider using their name but definitely not before doing those two things.

Your last name.

I would want my child to carry my own name

Your last name for sure
If my child has my last name she could be found and that's not what I want or need

Since me and my ex aren’t together I want my son to have my last name and not my ex

Your last name. She can always be officially adopted later and take someone else’s last name if she wants.

Maybe your mother’s maiden name? Or another family name? I’m sorry I don’t know your situation but I hope you stay safe♥️
