[quote=Anonymous]There is a possibility that the girl wants it. A friend of mine adopted a child from Africa (9 yrs old) who asked to change her name, and who wants to be more American. The girl from Russia may have no positive memories of Russia. It would be wrong of the parents to force a connection she doesn't want. Or it could really be as PP stated - that the adoptive parents don't want their child to have any ties and to not be different than their other kids. [/quote]
