How wonderful an idea to put together a scrapbook! I would love to have a scrapbook of my son's birthfamily. As far as family trees go...I have wanted to have a family tree of my son's birthfamily so badly that i have thought of researching it myself. (I too learned his birthmothers last name because it was on the bassinet). I have tried to encourage his birthmother to contact us more, but she seems to want our relationship to be more closed than we do. But I have come to learn that as people who are pro-open adoption I lean way over to that side. I don't think your childs parnets would be upset with last names. I don't think they would mind you putting him under your name. But if you are worried about that maybe thinking of making it some way so that they are there too. I have said that in adoption you don't have a family tree you have a family grove. So maybe having two family trees, one filled out by you with your child on the bottom (between the two trees) and then another branch coming down from their tree for them to fill out.
Hope that helps some...Good luck
