Our daughter's birthname was Patricia; our last name is Patrick. Since Patricia is just the feminine form of Patrick, we felt her new last name was enough of a tie to her birthname. We chose her first name of Susanna - and found out later that it's the same name as her foster mother. It's nice to know that what she will be named incorporates our name, the name her birthmother gave her, and her foster mothers name. We didn't plan it that way, but it was a neat surprise.
