Thank you for your replies, I am feeling a lot more confident now, my husband is speaking with the company and we are in the process of changing my sons surname to match ours via deed pole. My husband has not adopted our son as he still is very much in contact with his biological father. I hope to have this all sorted soon so that I can really get excited about coming out to Qatar. All I seem to read is fantastic reviews about life in Qatar (apart from the driving) and it is so depressing in the UK at the moment with the recession.

thanks again
