I am adopted and I use my birth name here. Sandra Lynn. I also use my birthmothers maiden name as I do not know my birthfathers name yet and eventhough my birthmothers family don't want anything to do with me. I consider my ancestral roots sacred and identify myself as being Sandra Lynn instead of the name I was given after I was adopted. In my view, my name has nothing to do with respect towards our adoptive parents. Any adoptive parent who would be upset by their adopted child reverting to their birth name frankly needs to resolve their own issues on it.
