HelpRe: Your Adoptees
in reply to a message by Helena
Myles and I are so thrilled to instantly have a house full of children! First off, we have decided to give each of the children new names, as a sort of welcome-to-our-family gift.
Paige is now Agnes Spring, because we think she looks like a little lamb (lamb is kind of the unofficial meaning of the name Agnes) and because her birthday often falls on the first day of spring. She is sweet and cuddly--you can tell her grandmother raised her with a lot of love. We've already made it out to Riverside once to visit her family, and they are thrilled to see Agnes healthy and thriving.
Miguel is now Clemente Roy, and we've been calling him Clem. Clemente honors our favorite place to go for a family day--the beach at San Clemente, and Roy is for his personality--he is a little king! We're not quite sure yet whether he is acting so hyper and imperious because of the transition to a new home, or if this is just how he is! He and Agnes have really begun to bond, though, and she hugs him and holds him when he gets overstimulated and upset.
Sadie is now Eve Alix, and Chloe is Laure Apolline. Evie and Laurie, as we call them, are so sweet. Myles hates me for this, but I love to dress them up in matching outfits. Evie is more rambunctious--she's the one who really keeps us awake at night, while Laure is the smiley--or gassy?--one. We'll see how they develop. We're planning a meeting in the park next week with their mother. It'll be the first time she's seen them since she gave birth to them. And I think I'm going to put the girls in their matching ducky bonnets.
