Their mom had died 2yrs ago and they have been thru 2homes. so far so good but we changed their middle names.Not their first names. they are american as we are but I wanted to name one of them(the older one )after my mom who died a month before they came to live with us.the younger one I named after my uncle who died 7yrs ago but was like a 2nd father to me.they seem happy we gave them names but I wanted to keep their first names which are very pretty. if we had chosen an international child we most likely would have americanized their names We have 4 children. 2 bio.ages 17 and 11. 2 we just adopted sisters ages 3(almost 4) and 8.

I think that my husband and I are the "wait and see" type with our new children (who, by the way, we are going to be with in two short weeks!) We have American names picked out for them, but we really want to be open to keeping their given names... which we find beautiful as well. I guess we will see in the next few weeks.
