Travelling with kids who are not your own can be an issue too.
Some years ago my daughter, then still a minor, had been to Paris with her boyfriend's family. As I'm sure I've said before we knew them long before either of us had kids and there was absolutely no issue on our part.
When she presented at the juxtaposed border controls at the Gare du Nord questions were asked as to why surnames differed. She and the boyfriend were both articulate near adults and his parents are professional people; together they were able to explain to the authorities' satisfaction. It was though suggested that in future she should have a letter of permission from her parents.
