[quote=Anonymous]Our two kids came to us when each was about a year old. We're in the process of foster-to-adopt with the second one now. Neither arrived with a name we would have chosen ourselves. They weren't awful, by any means, just not ones we liked. IMHO the responsibility of parenting comes with naming rights and we had no problem at all with changing both names immediately. Our second had been neglected by her BM. Down the road, when she's old enough to understand, she may even appreciate that we gave her a new name and that this completed the new start. Just my opinion. Having said that four is a lot older than one. Perhaps you could introduce a new nickname that you all like and use that going forward. Hats off to you for being a foster parent and for adopting from foster care.[/quote]
