We made our first mistake as parents. When we began the adoption process, we picked out 4 names, 2 for girls and 2 for boys. The boy names we choose are Tegan and Preston. Well, when we got the referral, we decided to give the older boy the name Preston and the younger one Tegan. We also decided to use their birth name as their middle name.
We wanted to make sure we knew how to pronounce their Ethiopian names, so we asked a friend to who speaks Ahramic. The gist of it it, the older boys African name rhymes with Preston. We knew we could not subject our kids to that, so we decided to just switch names.
It is a little embarrassing to do that, but we had to!
My next post will have pictures of their new room. We are still one bed short, but we are still trying to figure out if the younger one needs a pack and play, or a toddler bed.
