Thanks. Really does mean a lot! This is all new to me and I really want to do what is right and be the best I can be. If I didn't care I wouldn't even be here for advice. Sometimes I don't like what I hear and sometimes it makes me feel upset but I take it all in and learn as I go.You sound like you really want to be a great dad to this little girl. And that's way more important, and will always be more important to HER than what her last name is! Ask Cjane.....a child having his/her father's last name has nothing to do with what kind of a parent that person is!
