Middle name
Well, we came full circle and we're back to where we started over two years ago....so Katelyn Grace McDonald it will be. We really wanted to take some time to talk about whether we would keep part of Katelyn's Chinese name as a middle name, but we decided that if we did that we would make it a second middle name and Katelyn McDonald with two middle names in there was going to be a mighty long name. We were hoping that there would be some information in the translated documents we got indicating why they picked her name, but there isn't. We feel like it's only by God's grace that we are being given the opportunity to raise this baby...and God's grace trumps country, language and culture....so Grace seems to be a fitting middle name for our daughter. It feels so great to know what she looks like and what we will name her. We're getting closer!!!

Hi
Just a quick comment about keeping part of her chinese name. My daughters name is Zoe Isabella Xinhui Pontillo, a pretty long name for a 3 yo(just home in dec 07) but my reason for keeping part of her Chinese name is so she will have the option as she grows to use that name and will not have to go thru the hassle of legally changing her name. Also many of the kids at the FCC events like to use their chinese name at the events. Because Zoe is older she refers to herself in photos before we met as Xinhui. i felt it was important to have her keep her name.
congrats on your referral... she's beautiful.
Just wanted to congratulate you on your referral. I just saw your announcement on our local FCC group. I had seen you lovely baby's picture before by linking over from RQ, but I didn't realize that we would be in the same FCC group. I look forward to meeting you. Congratulations again. She is just lovely!

She is so cute. She is only one day older than our little one, whose Gotcha day was Jan 22 and we brought her home Feb 2nd. She is doing awesome. She has the same chubby cheeks. God Bless
Beautiful name :-)
