[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the sounds of it, this family should not have been allowed to adopt, and neither should some lunatics on this forum[/quote] You're wrong. This discussion just goes on to show that changing a child's name is a strictly personal decision and that this decision alone cannot be used to judge whether a family is "good" or "bad". I myself am an adoptive parent. We adopted two siblings from Russia aged 7 and 5 in the summer of 2005. Though we kept their birth names as their middle names, two other families we were with, also adopting older children, gave their children completely new names - first, middle and last. It has been 6 years now and both families are doing fine, apart from the "normal" challenges families adopting from Russia are prepared for. Other families may keep the name and do well - or not. So it depends. I would suggest adoptive families out there to follow their hearts. Jen[/quote]
