I didn't name my son son when he was born. I allowed the PAPs to name him.
Then I decided I couldn't go through with the adoption and I wanted to parent my son.
I knew what his name would be and had to have it changed.
The thing is, his birth name is not off his birth certificate. Instead it is listed as an amendment on the bottom.
My son will know the story of the adoption, we look at pictures of the PAPs with him now and then. I just wish "their" name didn't have to be on the birth certificate. But, it is.
I feel strongly that emoms and edads should name their child. The deserve to share that "first" together.
-Just my experience in not naming my son at birth.
