She did know her first name (Young Ran) but did not know her surname. She was given the surname of the babies home director in Souel (Kim).<br /><br />Thank you for sharing. I am going to share your blog with my sister.Kate Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10297329405102093965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828907640138776622.post-9630203966852168082009-11-04T11:37:58.569-05:002009-11-04T11:37:58.569-05:00That was beautiful.

When I went to change my name to my married name, the social services officer asked me if I had other names besides Abigail Hofman, and I said no, but then realized that HyiOak was actually what I was called in Korea. I don't identify with that name much. I definitely do identify with "Mummy". :) It is so interesting how your identity grows new layers.

Your writing is wonderful, the voice is so clear and perfect. I'm so glad you have a name now that you love.

There are times when I question everything that I'm about and the one thing that always keeps me grounded are my boys. To me my adopted family is just that, but my boys and I share our adoptions and our questions about adoption. They make me feel worth something... they make me truthful and honest to myself - I don't know if a name would do that except for "Mom".<br />XOXOUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105983540591585035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828907640138776622.post-59435772000520326472009-10-08T21:33:09.939-04:002009-10-08T21:33:09.939-04:00"I wondered if her name, my name, had been sp..."I wondered if her name, my name, had been spoken for the last time or if there was someone still keeping my memory alive."<br /><br />You've implanted an indelible image in my brain -- a name spoken for the last time by birth parents.

I've heard stories of BP's leaving notes pinned with names. It's part of the reason we kept our son's names...so they can have part of their first families with them at all times.pickelhttp://growninmyheart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828907640138776622.post-45341192798640172522009-10-08T18:02:13.128-04:002009-10-08T18:02:13.128-04:00Ohh it's so beautiful! thanks a lot

I think many adopted people feel the same way. I too will never know the name my birth parents gave me and cooed to me when I was a newborn. If they even did that! I too have gone through several names, but you are right, that in the end the most important one and that brings identity and meaning to my life is the one ER calls me by.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18259780683037042533noreply@blogger.com
