[quote=Anonymous]We adopted two older siblings. Through our in-country representative, we asked the kids what they would like to do about names----we said they would have our last name, and then, at their option, could have their existing last name as their middle name, and then keep their current first name, but if they wanted to add an American middle name as a second middle name, then they could. The responses were interesting. Both kids were adamant about dropping their bio family last name. One child had absolutely no interest in altering her first name in any way. The other chose an American name as an additional middle name and decided to use it when starting school. There was no way we were going to erase the first names that the kids had carried their entire lives. [/quote]
