What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma
In the late 70's I was legally adopted by my stepfather and my name was changed. I am wanting to return to my birth name.My questions are as follows: (1) is it possible to reverse the adoption to take my birth name back? (2) would it be easier to just do a name change? (3) Is a name change something that I would have to get a lawyer or is it something I could do myself? (4) Would my wife and daughter have to pettition the court for a name change as well? (5) What would be the average cost?
