The Petitioner is Tamika La'Shelle O'Neal, who lives at 316 North West Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013. 2. Petitioner is the biological mother of Romeo Xavier Duncan (hereafter "Romeo"), who was born on August 20, 1995, in Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. Romeo's social security number is 176-76-8614. A copy of Romeo's birth certificate is attached as Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by reference. 3.

"',' ---,. ."" ~,:', ,'~ "11",,, 5th Street, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, PA 17110. 7. Romeo and 1'Quan were given the last name of Duncan because that was the Petitioner's last name at the time of their births. At the time of the children's births, Petitioner was married to, but separated from, her then husband, James C. Duncan, Jr.. Petitioner later divorced Mr. Duncan, who resides at 95 N. 64th Street, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania 1701l. 8. Petitioner is also the mother (by James C. Duncan, J r.) of Cheyanna Duncan, born May 30, 1989, and Brandon Duncan, born June 12, 1990, who are Romeo and 1'Quan's half siblings. Cheyanna and Brandon live with the Petitioner and Romeo and 1'Quan. 9. Petitioner avers that it is in the best interest of Romeo and l' Quan to have their last names changed from Duncan to Waters, because: a) Len Dell Waters is the biological father of Romeo and 1'Quan and plays an active role in their lives. b) James C. Duncan, Jr., does not claim to be the biological father of Romeo or 1'Quan. He does not play an active role in their lives. c) Romeo and 1'Quan should have the last name of their biological father. d) Petitioner has changed her name from her married name of Tamika La'Shelle Duncan to her maiden name of Tamika La'Shelle O'Neal, so Romeo and 1'Quan will not have the same last name as their mother, whether they continue to use the name Duncan or change their last name to Waters. e) James C. Duncan, Jr. has consented to this name change of Romeo and 1'Quan. A copy of his Consent to Name Change is attached as Exhibit C and is incorporated herein by reference. f) Len Dell Waters has consented to this name change of Romeo and 1'Quan.
