Thanks for posting this Coley. It is a great reminder that even if a child is going to be adopted their biological mom can still name them. Great job Coley.

We were happy in the fact that we too Coley would have veto power.

Many mothers considering adoption still do not know that. In my era, few did.<br /> <br /> I did not name my son either, and wish that I had. For adoptees, I know that some consider it a sign of caring, love or interest when they discover that they were named. They do not always realize that many birth mothers believe that they are not entitled to name them.
