When this person has children you consider them having italian genes too, because their father was adopted into an italian family? lol


I would consider them italian yes! Lol. Because the last name sticks with them and their legal father and grandparents ancenstry would be traced back to Italy. In terms of genes thats a little complicated because in the end I really believe that we all came from one place anyway so.


So, if I go out and change my last name to an Italian surname tomorrow, I'm suddenly Italian? Sorry, it doesn't work like that.


Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
