Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

Last year my son's father legally signed over his rights to his son. How long do I have to wait until I can change my son's last name to mine? Do I have to notify his father? I've been told I have to wait 2 years and if I don't hear from him, then I can change my son's last name. Is this true?
