My husband and I have had legal custody of my niece since her birth, 01/90. My sister,who is her natural mother, has agreed to allow us to change my niece's last name to ours. For some reason, she is not comfortable with completely giving her to us for full adapotion. Our niece carries the last name of her natural father. My husband nor I have ever seen him. We only had contact with him when we were petitioning for custody of the child. We live in Baltimore County, Maryland. Can my husband and I have my niece's last name changed? If, so, how do we go about doing this?
