I was reading this article in a magazine about a couple that adopted 4 boys from Russia, and one from the USA. The boys name's are:
Slava - age 16
Sergei -10
Kirill -16
Zhenya -16
and
Lucas -2
The adoption agency told them that it would be best if they changed their names to more "American" names, and the boys got to choose so
Slava changed his name to
Joe,
Sergei changed his to
Reagan,
Kirill changed his to
Dan, and
Zhenya's was changed to
Douglas, but he still uses
Zhenya. And
Lucas's was never changed because he was given up for adoption when he was just a baby. The family is thinking about adopting another son or finding him another home. His name is
Vitaly.
WDYT?
I really like Russian names for some reason, and I definitely want to adopt there someday.
We love Him because He first loved us.
