[quote=Anonymous]Up until a child's first reception of the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, at 8 years of age, the child is not biblically apt to make such decisions for himself. The child's input is thus not required. Additionally, when God welcomes someone in His House in the Bible, he often gives them new names (Abram to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah, etc.) The same should be true when a Christian family adopts a child coming from a non-Christian background. I disagree with the family's choice of name, though. "Brittany" has absolutely no biblical or theological significance. I hope at least the family is a believer.[/quote]
