When you get adopted you become one of their family and cut the ties with your former family. Most adoptive children never sees their biological parents again so having a strangers last name would make them feel not a part of the family.

Can you adopt and not change the child's last name?

It is not legally required to change your surname once you have been adopted. It is usually up to the adoptee if they want to change their surname.

Over time, most every adopted child discovers the truth, in which case, the people who changed the name could be faced with questions they are not comfortable answering.Another option would be to give the child a nickname and leave the original name intact. This way, the people who want to change the child's name can use a name they like, while leaving the adopted child's identity intact.
