Hi all, just hoping for some external views on this. We're heading to matching panel next month to (hopefully) be matched with a baby. She is a few months old.
I'm not massively keen on her name... It's nice enough but not what we would have chosen if she'd been a BC. Her middle name is quite identifying and definitely doesnt match our BC names so probably wouldn't swap them round. SW is adamant we can't change her name. Is this true?
Did you change your AC name? How did you go about it if you felt SW wouldn't agree? And if you were an adopted child, were you given a new name and how did you feel about this when you were older?
I'm aware that it's the only link she has to her mum, so I don't want to upset anyone.
All points of view are welcome!
