What's in a name





So I just wanted to explain Kenzie's name to everyone and so that I don't forget when she finally asks how she got her name. The agency lets the birth mothers pick the name, whether or not you choose to keep the name or not. So in our case we choose to keep the name that her birth mother gave her but used it for her middle name. Her birth mother told us that when Kenzie was born she looked at her and knew that it was to be Lyric. Lyric is a movie that has Jada Pinkett Smith in it and that is the birth mothers favorite actress. When she looked at Kenzie she thought that she had Jada's eyes. That is how she came up with the name Lyric. Now why we choose to keep the name was because after all that this birth mother has done for us what a better way to repay her and to let her know that we care and appreciate all that she has given up. We are so in love with this little girl. And are so grateful for this birth mother who sacrificed everything she had to let us raise this sweet little spirit.

That is so cute! We actually gave Georgia Ann the middle name her birth mom wanted as well! So we thought the very same thing. Kenzie has changed so much already! She is so cute. Love Melyssa
