I feel that our adoptive families are are families. They are the ones who raised us, took care of us, provided for us, and loved us. True our blood/birth families may have loved us all along in their hearts but they didn't make the decision to care for us and give up their lives for us to be happy. I have the utmost respect for my birth family, whoever they are, but I know beyond a doubt that I will never/would never change my name.
