Since B's adoption was finalized
I have wanted to share his name with you
But it not quite that simple
When I gave B that nickname on this blog
It was because we called him Brandon
Brandon was the name that his previous foster family
Chose to call him when they were in the process of adopting him
He went by his name on his birth certificate
for the first 2 and a half years of his life
Then they changed it to Brandon
because all of their other children had B names
We called him that for the first few months he was with us
Only because that is what he called himself when people asked
And that is why I nicknamed he B here
Then when it was time for him to start school
And it was clear we would be adopting him
We started talking to him about his name
He agreed that he wanted to be called by his real name
So we began the name transition
He corrected people right away when they called him by his old name
I think that Brandon came with a lot of baggage
of his life with previous foster family
And going back to his birth name was freeing for him
So what is his name you ask?
Well maybe you didn't but I will tell you anyway:)
William
