ok so heres the story...i am going to be a single parent ever since i found out i tried reaching to the "donor" bout my pregnancy. Obvisouly he said no hes not helping out...ok cool no worries then am not gunna beg. Fastforward to today...am due next week and my dad asks what is the name of my child going to be. so i said nadia jayleen with both my last name. You know us hispanics have long names lol so he says to me that i should think about it. that i should put his last name. well my reason i dont want to is cuz he hasnt been there he didnt help me at all all he did was donate his sperm thats it. I believe i doing the right thing but my dad doesnt think that. i mean its not like am going to tlk bad about her father nor say negative things. i will tell her once she is grown enough to understand why things happened where he is at and then thatll be her choice to either contact him or not. Like i told my dad am not saying that he as in the donor is a bad person i understand having a child is something big. In my case i think no i know am doing the correct thing. What do you girls think? Am i doing the right thing or not?
I think your doing the right thing only using your name, I mean if he doesn't want to be in the picture then why should the baby have his name you know.
@babygirl10-11, ohhh ok i see...guys like that r a keeper he did a good thing eventhough it wasnt his kid he stepped up. props for him nd yea like u said i have to make my choice thank u
I do know that if the father isn't there u cant put his name on the birth certificate so it will just say unknown or not available
my son has my bf last name but it's not biological his son so I understand what you mean ... I gave him my bf name because his donor wasn't around either my bf stepped up as daddy when I was pregnant his family gave me a shower and everything even came to the hospital while I was in labor it was the right thing to do so I gave my son his name even the middle ... 11 yrs later his donor is still in and out but my bf is now hubby and my son calls him dad ......... so you do what is best for your baby you give her your last names forget what your dad says
@babygirl10-11, really??? well its everyone decision but i dont think ama put his on mine
well idk where u live but I put my bf last name for all three of our kids and he's wasn't at the hospital to sign the birth certificate and they still let me put it
i know now that the father needs to be there to put his last name for the baby
@phasion, exactly..my dad is a sensitive person lol but yea i told him i meed him now not in 10 yrs
@tysonnsmommy, i thought about that too. but my dad thinks am hurting her nd wat not. but i mean after all it isy decision not his
@chunka, omg really...u know it means hope in greek thats why i decoded that
@phasion, yea i understand. i mean i respect my father cuz to be honest he did that when i was a little baby..he did deny me but came around nd he feels that the donor might come around...which i doubt it.
No if he's not going to be around she def don't need his last name. I love the name Nadia tho that's my name👍🏽
@jacksonsmommy8715, right...from my understanding to use his last name he needs to be present which hes not going to be maybe his spirit but i doubt his spirit can sign lol. but am sricking to my last name. both cuz i dont want to discriminate neither of my family. @jacksonsmommy8715
I'd use your last name. If by some miracle he decides to come around after the fact, you can always have it changed. but if you use his last name, i think you need his permission to change it back to youes
right se thing i told my dad...like why do i have to put the donors las name if he hasnt contributed in nothing.@kgood,
If it were me and the father didn't want to be in my kids life then I would put my kids name as my last name. Its your choice though on what you want to do
