There may be hope in the world...
Apr. 8th, 2008 10:43 pmMy sister and her wife just adopted another of their foster children. Lovely news that I have another niece yes, but what's better, they changed her name. Why is this better you ask? Because, her birth parents had named her Nevaeh! At her adoption they changed her name to Maggie... I don't know if it's just Maggie, I hope not, but even that's better than her original name. At least that's my opinion. Now if they named her Margaret and call her Maggie that's fine too. Margaret is my mother's middle name after all. I'm sure I'll find out when I see them next. But in the mean time, besides being happy there's a new member in our family, and another neglected and abused child has been saved... which are very good reasons to be happy mind you, but also, it just makes it that much happier, I think, for one less 'kr8tyv' el crappo name to be forced upon an innocent child. At least it makes me smile. :)
