	Hi Hayley, i may be wrong but i think they would have to use thier adoptive name, unless they knew thier birth name and changed it. If i am wrong someone will correct it good luck Wendy

	hi hailey when you get married you use your adoptive name, when you get adopted you renounse your birth name completley, however when that adoptive person reaches 21 years of age, they can depoll their adoptive name for their birth name or have a double barrelled surname
