Response from the Search Guru, Moderator for the Search and Reunion Message Board

It has been my experience that generally the first name stays the same but that the last name gets changed to the adoptive parents last name.

I recently talked to an adoptee who was relinquished at three and she remembered the names of her birth siblings, aunts, uncles and birthmother. It's amazing sometimes what a small child "stores" in their memory bank!
