Yesterday, the birth family was at our adoption ceremony. I felt kind of guilty when the judge read the girls new middle names. It was already an emotional time for all if us.
Later that night, I called birth mom and told her we would still honor the childrens given middle names. She seemed understanding. Should I or could I of said anything else to be more of a comfort to her?
I don't think so. Parents know that when kids are adopted, there's a chance the name will be changed.
