Our lawyer, Gertrudis, explained how names are given to children here in Colombia. Every child has 2 last names (father's last name and mother's maiden name). Therefore, our idea of naming him as follows: Andres Galindez Yannucci, is not going to work. It has to be reversed.
His name has to have Doug's last name first and my maiden name second. Since the lawyer has to present the case at the court with the correct name, we decided that his Colombian name would be: Andres Sebastian Yannucci Galindez.
We have added his middle name to be Sebastian, which is a name that Doug and I have loved for a very long time. Once we get to the states, we will decide what to do about the last names. I am sure the Galindez will be dropped. Darn!!!
