A Child Chosen - Perspectives of an Adoptive Parent

On Why “The Bebe” Does Not Have a Name

by Marcie on January 15th, 2008

Its funny that no one has even asked yet if The Bebe has a name, as I have only been referring to him as The Bebe.

Actually, he does have a name, two, in fact. He has his birth name that his birth mother gave him and he also has a name that we have given him. We have chosen NOT to reveal either of those names until the birth mother has officially relinquished him in family court because until then she can still change her mind (and it does happen).

However, we believe that she made an adoption plan either during her pregnancy or just after his birth because our agency knew of his adoption plan when he was three days old. She has been accommodating and quick to respond to requests like blood tests (completed on the 5th of January).

But, I will say this…we now have three “rulers” in our household and I am the odd man (woman) out.
