But I firmly believe families should do what is best for them and their adopted children - whether its to keep the name, change it, change the spelling, ect. <br /><br />We chose to just change the boys middle names but change the spellings as they knew their names - and with their developmental delays - changing their first names would confuse them a lot - and we've known them for two years as Kaden and Isaiah. Anyway, on the foster care adoption board parents who chose to change their foster-adopt children's names a lot of the time start calling them both names like Alethia Shabila. Then after a few weeks drop the name they are dropping to help the child *understand* what their name is. <br /><br />:)Abbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631246491375870681noreply@blogger.com
