That's kind of the theory I am leaning toward and unless told otherwise, I'm going to go with it. The MC clearly thinks of Todd as his/her dad and I believe that the MC would take on Todd's last name adopted or not.

I have a cousin who sort of adopted himself into the famiy. My uncle never legally adopted him, but he is the only dad my cousin ever knew and my uncle (and later my aunt when my uncle remarried) is the only parent he really knew because his biological mother took his sisters when the married ended and left him. What kind of parent does that? I assume he used my uncle's last name growing up (unless legal oblidged to use whatever his previous last name was) and then when he got married, he legally changed it to match my uncle and his sisters.

I can see that kind of relationship here with the MC and Todd.
