The Great Name Debate
We are well aware that you, Wen, have a name. A name that you are most likely very fond of. However we would like to give you a name, just as we did Tobias and Liliana, to make you a part of our family. We have also been told that when the children come to America, they want an "American" name to be able to feel like they belong. We want your name then to be a reflection of who you are and one that has meaning to us. The hardest part is that for government and document purposes we need to have it picked out BEFORE traveling to meet you. We are obviously going to keep your given name and we will call you by whatever name you prefer. We also want to be able to provide you with that choice, however, to use the name given by us or to use the name given to you by the orphanage. The big question for us then is what name to give you. We like SO many and their are reasons for each and every one of them. I am sure that one will stand out above the others and hopefully you will like it. We can't wait to meet you son. Toby talks or asks about you every day. He prays for you each night. Hopefully we will not have to wait to long to bring you home.
