If you feel more comfortable, tell her that you agree to pictures and cards a couple times a year. If she straightens up her life and if the kids ever express an interest in a visit, it might be possible in the future, but for now, only communicate by PO box. As far as names go, that's totally up to the ADOPTIVE parents! Our kids had family middle names (named after bmoms and friends). We gave our kids the choice and we renamed their middle names. We changed the first name of one of our kids. Our older kids kept their last names as second middle names. Our younger kids dropped their birth last names and have our last names. It's up to YOU!
