What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? SC

My son will be 5 years old in November. He does not know his biological father & no one wishes for him to. His bio-father does pay court ordered child support but, is not on the birth certificate & my son has my maiden name. E started school last week & my husband would like for him to have our last name. What needs to be done?

If there is no relationship between your son and his father wouldn't a step-parent adoption make more sense?
