Mum-to-be demands her sister changes the name of her adopted child or ‘pick a different kid’ as she’s earmarked it
A WOMAN has been slammed after demanding her sister changes the name of her adopted daughter or "pick a different kid" as she wants the name for her own unborn child.
The expectant mother explained she had spent a lot of time picking out the perfect name for her daughter, only to discover that her identical twin - who can't have children of her own - was in the process of adopting a five-year-old girl who shared the same name.
Taking to , she explained that she has never been able to "have her own things" and that for their entire life, people always saw them as interchangeable rather than as two individuals.
She went on to explain that she was always bothered by the fact their mum dressed them in identical clothes and made them share a room, but admitted their relationship only improved when she finally got her own space and could be herself.
Both are now married and starting their life as parents and the woman detailed the moment she found out her twin sister "stole" her daughter's name - the one she'd already picked out.
She said: " Yesterday, [they] announced to the family (remotely) that they are officially about to adopt a little girl. They wanted a baby but ended up having to go with a slightly older kid, five.
If the kid won't change her name, she could go with a different kid.

"She looks absolutely precious and I was so happy for a few seconds before they announced her name is B, the name that S KNOWS is my daughter's.
She admitted to thinking it was a joke at first but became enraged upon realising it was true.
The post continued: "I thought that was a joke so I kind of laughed, then I realised they were serious.
"Obviously the girls can’t have the same name. Twins with daughters with the same name?? Everyone would laugh at us.
"I don't want people nicknaming my kid to distinguish her because I like the FULL name I chose. And I can't help but suspect that S picked a kid with the same name on purpose just like she always wanted to be like me when we were kids.
"I am planning to talk to her about the situation. One of us needs to change our kid's name and I'm hoping she'll be reasonable."
She explained that because her baby girl would be born before her sister officially adopts her child, that she should be able to keep the name and that her sister should formally change the name already given to her soon-to-be daughter.
She said: "A lot of parents change their adopted kids’ names. They could do that.
"If the kid won't change her name, S could go with a different kid. There are thousands upon thousands of orphans who need loving homes.
"They haven't bonded with this one yet. I already have bonded with my baby and I can't imagine her with another name.
"This is stressing me out and it's NOT GOOD for my baby."
The woman shared her side of the story in hope she'd be met with a sense of understanding or even sympathy, but instead, the mum-to be left people shocked and angered by her completely unreasonable request.
One person raged: "You are an unbelievable a**hole."
And a second person wrote: "You can’t see past your own petty complaints to the point where you will let them rob a 5 year old of either her identity or her new family.
Meanwhile a third expressed their anger and said: "Words cannot describe how disgusted I am with you right now. Get help."
