Dear Sir,
After the death of my first wife, I re-marriaged in January, 2012 who was a divorcee and has a girl Aged 12 Years, whose all responsibility accepted by her.
Sir, I have made a registered adoption deed on 30/03/2012.
Now, Please let me know
(1) Is it possible for me to make change in her original name and put my name behind her ?
(2) Could I change her name in L/c of School ?
Please advice. I heard that by publishing in gazzete, I could change the name ! If it is true, please reply what would be the procedure ?
Thanks,
