Her new first two names are family names that have significance to us.
Can you share with me how you adjusted her from her previous first name to her new name? I am interested in doing this and my foster daughter is almost 2 and they are in the process of termination of parental rights. I just don't know if she is too old plus I am receiving some reluctance/resistance from friends. Thanks for any advice/help!
