I'm 26, and so is my girlfriend, we're not married yet, but are expecting our son to be born on the 17th of December '08. My question is this, I want our son to take my surname from birth, and not my girlfriend's. Is it possible for me to do this, if so, what do I have to get in place, and what will I have to be aware of? This question requires an urgent answer, SO PLEASE, I NEED URGENT ADVISE!

I believe that as long as the mother of child agrees to having your sir name for the baby . She and you can put your last name on his birth certificate.
