A:
First, you should understand that allowing your husband to adopt your daughter and changing her names are separate requests for relief.
Adoptions require very strict compliance with notice and service requirements to be valid. To determine whether you will need to give notice to your daughter's biological father, you will need to seek the advice of an experienced adoption attorney.
