The Beautiful Deiana

After literally a year of procrastination we have finally decided to officially change the spelling of "the girl's" name to Deiana. From here on out she will be referred to as Deiana.
Yes it is unusual, but hopefully it will inspire people to pronounce it correctly. Spelled "Deanna" it was pronounced wrong 100% of the time, even by people who know her. When in Ukraine we had about 20 minutes to pick the spelling, and we didn't think of anything creative. I've been frustrated with it ever since. The Ukrainian translation is Diana, which is another name altogether. Deiana herself was frustrated and said "why does everyone call me Deanna?" Simple answer, thats how its spelled! I got the spelling "Deiana" from another adoptive mom with the same dilemma. So...a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Enough said!
