New name transition

its really important for the child to feel they have a say in their name. I would think this is even more true for international adoption. They've lost everything that is familar to them. please let her feel she's a parto f the decision to change her name and has a say in what that name will be. you can explain about her 'american name' and why this particular name is important to you. but at 6 years old, they have a sense of self and an opinion into how that self is represented (i adopted at that age).
