Name Meanings
You have probably already guessed that Ray and I have decided to keep the names the birthmother gave to the boys. We decided that for a number of reasons: they are already used to them, they connect them to their culture and birthmother, the names lend themselves to American names or can be adapted easily enough to look like American names should the boys choose to do so, and last but not least, we believe the names are beautiful.

The names are beautiful. What a good idea to find out their meanings. Someday the boys will look back at this whole adoption story and know just how much you cared about and loved them.
