This is completely up to the parents, although ultimately the mother will be the one asked to give the child's name. She can choose to give the child either last name.
The mother and child share a special bond that starts while the baby is in utereo. The mother and child ideally continue with a relationship that no one can break due to the bond that was formed before birth.
not if the adoption was voluntary and not a result of any court order declaring her unfit as a parent to that child.
Mother's Day is important because it is the one day of the year when we focus on mothers. Mothers tend to give and give and give to their children and husbands. Mother's Day is a special day when we can give back to them and make them know how special they are and how much they are appreciated.
In Illinois in 1962, the child's mother could name anyone she wished (or no one), as the father, and give the child any first/last name she wished.

"Signing away one's rights" is a myth. The only way this can actually happen is if the mother and her new spouse actually adopt the child.
If the grandparents do not have legal permanent custody and the mother has proof she is the child's legal custodian, even if she has been absent in the child's life--yes, they can. If you believe the mother is unfit to care for the child or you have had physical custody for a long period of time with little or no contact from the mother, you can file an emergency appeal for custody with the courts. A temporary custody paper will not keep the child with you if she ever signed one as she can revoke it at anytime.
One or the other are sufficient. The one exception may be if you are particularly close to the mother and child, such as an Aunt or the Godparent.
There are four types of parenting styles - I would say this mother is practicing the Passive Style, in that she would rather be a friend to her child than a good parent who can say no to a minor when she needs to. Such parental submissiveness is not in the child's best interest. Teenagers want a lot of things they have no business having--permanent tattoos are one of them.
No! The mother of the child is the only one who can make the decisions
In the CountrySide, the mother says (in French) that her son wants a green balloon. Get one for him from the Clown Store.
