We adopted a 3.5 and 4.5 year boys 2 years ago....
we changed both of their names... they did not retain any russian name at all and they were very happy to have new names... if you called them by their old names they say "thats not me!".
We kept our oldest son back and so both of our boys will start K in the fall (Will will be 5.5 and Tim will be 6.5 going into K).. they went to full day preschool after about a month at home and it helped greatly to learn english and other social skills but we didnt feel like our oldest was ready with his language skills to start K last fall as he was eligible to. He is also our less mature child even though older so we thought another year would help him mature and it has worked out very well.
So, we will have double everything until college is over... fun !
