Please don't refer to your daughter's father as a 'sperm donor'.
That term will be hurtful to her. Remember, she is half of him.
Also remember, she didn't choose him--YOU did.

Most solicitors practising family law will offer a free half hour appointment to answer these type of questions. It costs nothing and you'll probably get more sound advice than here on YA! Failing that Citizens Advice Bureau are always really helpful too
I hope your daughter never hears you disrespect her father - she ought to be able to make up her own mind about how she feels about him - she is part of him

well i know you will have to have lawyer with this to adopt her. to change her last name. i would imagine they will put out letter saying that hes the dad or whatever unless you didn't name him at birth. if you didn't it could be clear and cut dry you wouldn't have to. take care.
