| Nov 19, 2012 at 14:38 | comment | added | balanced mama | Have you asked the children their thoughts on the matter? My adopted sister wanted a change but still wanted some piece of her former self so she kept her given name as a middle name and went with the family name for her last name and chose a COmPLETELY new first name for herself to go by. Since your kids are old enough to know about the change, it seems as though their opinion should at least be considered | |
