I am going to start the re-adoption process here soon and I am giving serious thought to using the opportunity to change dd's name from the name we gave her at adoption, back to her birth name. It is different only by one letter, which does change the pronunciation. She is almost five years old and will begin kindy in July (year round schedule). It seems like the best time to make the change as far as school goes. I've asked her what she thinks about being called by her birth name, and she agrees to it. Just wanted to get some opinions from others. The biggest reason I want to do it is to give her back her birth name, so she has an "original" thing from her birth country. She's starting to ask more and express more about her adoption, so I guess I think into the future when she is a teenager and an adult, and wonder if she'd appreciate me doing this for her. I dunno. Any feedback would be appreciated.
