hiya , would like some opinions on changing first name
firstly to make it clear I like the name, not one i would have chosen but it suits and while unusual is certainly not unique so no problem there.
Problem is that we know her birth parents live within 5 miles of us so there is a chance we could be in the same area, also our child has a unique facial birth mark , not immediately obvious unless you really look but it is there.
parents are not agreeing to adoption , and we have also been told that birth mum is now training to do a job where she will be able to search medical records which even with our second name she can search first name and dob which could easily reveal our childs address/details.
I may be being over cautious as i posted a few weeks ago where our childs full name with shouted out and flashed up at the doctors, that has now been resolved , albeit should not have happened at all.
I have discussed with social workers who while not at all keen can see my concerns and say we can change name.
Has anyone on the forum done this at 14 months. ?
what are others thoughts
personally i wish we didnt have to think about this but neither do i want us to be identified
thankyou for your thoughts
