A couple of days
I adopted my Caroline at 2 years and one week old. Within a few days in the hotel room in Russia she began to respond to her new name. At first we used both and slowly dropped her Russian name. Before we left Russia, I would say "who is Caroline?" and she would point to herself. She would also point to Mommy and her aunt, who travled with me.
It is amazing to see her learn each day.
