Scared/ Question????

Questions: We want to change the name of the baby we are adopting who is 7 months old. We are also adopting her older sister (5 yrs) any suggestions? The other thing: We are scared! Now that we are moving forward I�m getting scared! I was at Target today and and couldn�t get myself to buy a game for the 5 year old. I think it�s just reality and a bit of what if it falls through b/c other private adoptions have fallen through. We don�t have them in our home yet but should have her w/ us in the next few months. Is this normal and does anyone have advice?
