Here's how I decided on Kathryn Rose...my name is Rose Kathryn. Rose is my paternal grandmother and maternal great-grandmother. My fathers two grandmothers were Kathryn (the one he knew) and Catherine (the one he never met.) Growing up, I never liked the name Rose, but I did like Katie. I wished that my name was Kathryn Rose instead of Rose Kathryn...there you go! Also, everyone in my family is named after someone. I know that my mother would love a namesake, but her name is Rosanne and a) I'm not crazy about that name for a little girl and b) it's so similar to my own name. With Kathryn Rose, she's happy because they ARE family names. <BR/>If I wasn't using Rose as a middle name, I'd probably use Grace...Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887194770121515089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15097409536912108.post-41159620584867242442008-06-11T12:58:00.000-05:002008-06-11T12:58:00.000-05:00So glad to hear!

She said that every child deserves a mother and a father, wether or not the mother and father get along or not. What?! What about a loving home and family, no matter how small or large for a child that has no home or love? You are going to make a great Mama to a beautiful Kaz baby!

(As it should be.) I found that to be same in my case—my friends and coworkers were thrilled for me. Sadly, the only negative person was my mother. Brutally honest, she told me we were too old to adopt and that it would ruin our marriage.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808598168839614514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15097409536912108.post-67115868961591820642008-06-11T08:53:00.000-05:002008-06-11T08:53:00.000-05:00Hi Mary,I'm glad your co-workers are respecting yo...Hi Mary,<BR/><BR/>I'm glad your co-workers are respecting your privacy and are being so supportive. It is very interesting to see who comes out on which side of the fence on these things. The enthusiastic support from those you never expected to provide it can be a real boost at times during this process. <BR/><BR/>AlysaAlysahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258692101281953176noreply@blogger.com
