Our little boy has a beautiful name but it's an unusuall name. Birth family live relatively closeby and we are quite nervous about him being located. Battles were fought to keep him by the birth family. He has quite an extended family/siblings which are all in a 5 mile radius to us.
We really want to abbreviate his name legally are we wrong in wanting to do this? He answers to his abbreviated name as this was something his foster carers called him. I am not sure how social services will react?
Has anyone changed there little one's name?
