I wanted my child to be Quincy - Quinn Charles or Quinn Claire. I also very much liked Quinn Thomas. Which I really glad I didn't go with QT - cutie - he' have to be one tough little guy.
But I also liked Griffin and Bailey.
So when I found it would be a boy, I still wasn't sure - Quinn, Griffin or Bailey. I read his referral, all the while leaning towards Quinn. His referral stated that he was the 5th bio child to his birth mother - Quinn means 5th born.
So Quinn it is! But Charles and Thomas went out the window when I found that he had been named by his birthmother and lived with her for the first 9 months of his life. My son is an International adoptee, born to a poverty stricken woman considered a minority. The only thing she could give him was a chance and a name. So his middle name is the name the beautiful woman gave him.
He's now 5. Been home forever for 2 years. It uses that name to draw a straight line from his birthmother to his mama. As he grows older, I hope he appreciates the love both his mothers have for him.
