DD Leanne was adopted when she was 8. She really wanted to change her name to something "beautiful", although we thought her name was already beautiful. For a few days we called her something different. She choose Ella, Lola, Maddy, Michelle (my middle name). It was so hard to remember to call her by her "new" name and half the time I did she would not answer
It was so cute. After 4 days she decided that she didn't want to change her name because it was way to hard. We compromised and changed her middle name to Michelle and she was thrilled when the judge declared she was now Leanne Michelle ........
DS Cameron was adopted at 7 and his name was spelled Camron with his birth fathers name as his middle name. We changed his name to Cameron Craig in honor of my father and both of my brothers (they all share the middle name Craig). Cameron is thrilled to share his name with his beloved uncle Steve.
DS Justin came to us at 2 with the name Justin Tyme (thats right Just in time)
When the caseworker told us that I said "are you sure?"... indeed she was! We changed his name to Justin Edward after my husband and father-in-law. He had to be named after his daddy because as crazy as it sounds Justin looks exactly like my husband as a boy. From the blond (almost white) hair to the blue eyes as big as puddles. It is amazing.
DD Katie came to us at two days old. She was named Katelend by her birth mother. She was foster to adopt at first so we had to keep her name. We called her Katie from the moment we laid eyes on her. Through all of years "trying" for a baby I dreamed of having a baby girl named Katie. I would picture her to have blond hair and blue eye's and just so beautiful. Well- Katie is the polar opposite of the blond hair and blue eyes, but she is the most beautiful baby I have laid eyes on
When we finalized her adoption at the ageof 18 months we changed her name to Kathryn Dawn. We thought Kathryn was a strong beautiful name that she would be proud of when she was an adult and Dawn after my dear sister in law who was in ICU when Katie came home and passed away when she was 4 months old. She wanted us to have a baby almost as much as we did and I am sure she had a hand in Katie's adoption. There were several very scary time that the county was going to have to move her to be adopted by family members. It was a scary time, but it all worked out for the best and we are a forever family.
We are in the process of adopting a baby from Vietnam. However we are so far down on the list we have not started or dossier yet. In September adoptions from Vietnam may be closed down for an indefinite amount of time. Please pray that the US and Vietnam can come to some sort of agreement so adoptions can continue.
Our new son or daughter with be called either Samuel (because I asked of god) or Abigail because I think Katie and Abby sound so cute together
I am corny like that!
You people put me to shame!
for you! Hope your day gets better!
for the "whip up"
She loves it and I'm pretty happy with the results too. Thank goodness for my ruffler or I may have thrown in the towel on that skirt.
what pattern did you use for this?
