I understand the name thing. I reunited with my bmother 6 years ago. She was suprised that my name wasn't what she called me. I told her to please call me by my adoptive name. Later into getting to know her more, I told her that I was comfortable if she wanted to call me by my birthname. She said no. The thing is in her mind I am both, and I am fine with that. She gave me a musical horse for my b-day last year and when I came home I notice she wrote: To: Chris Ann (my birthname) and my adoptive name too. So, I know in her eyes I'll always be Chris Ann. So, if you notice your bmother calling you by your birthname and you feel uncomfortable. Just tell her how you feel, and maybe down the road you can call me that as a nickname. She should understand. Most bmother's do.
In kind regards
