Naming

Hello everybody,

I wanted to ask a very naive and maybe silly question. I have recently started looking into domestic adoption so I really don't know how this works.

When you adopt a child, can you name them?

I understand adopting an older child is a different story.
But what if you're adopting a newborn, does the birthmom name the child or do you get the chance?

(I tried doing a search and it lead me to the other "naming/Titles" thread posted yesterday that is a completely different subject.. But very educational! And a bit scary.)

Thanks Everybody,

Myrna
