Good post. It’s a childs right to know they are adopted otherwise it can cause problems later on. However this is a very sensitive topic you need to take great care and plan well before you talking with your adopted child.

As an adoptive mom and adoption professional for over 23 years this topic is so very important to me. Thank you for discussing it. We have a blog post that also deals with this topic: adoptionstar.com/tag/answering-questions-about-adoption/

I love this site. I have been telling my daughter since I brought her home at 3 1/2 months that she was adopted. I bought books, including Jamie’s book. I have always felt it was important to be open with her and not to have her think it is something to be ashamed about. I feel very proud that I adopted my daughter and forget I didn’t give birth to her.

This is probably the most difficult revelation between adoptive parents and kids. But telling it the earliest possible time will surely ease away any problem and misunderstanding.

Nice post as always.

I just wanted to let you know about a new book for kids who are adopted at an “older” age…I am Adopted by Mark Dicken-Bradshaw is available through amazon, borders, barnesandnoble and target.com. It is written for ages 4 thruogh 8, and goes through some of the feelings and process of being adopted. It is a neat perspective, written by a boy who has gone through this himself.

I just found your blog through your comment on mine. What a fantastic source of info your blog is! I am thrilled to have found it, and I can’t believe I haven’t read before.

Our Lily is only 10 months old, but this is something I’ve given some thought to. We have the Jamie Lee Curtis book and “A Mother for Choco,” which is also great, but like others have said, it’s a part of our daily life. We thank God for making us a family every night in our prayers. It doesn’t necessarily define us – it’s just how our family was created. I think being proud of it and very open about it from day one is really important.

Thanks for all the great info – I’m very excited to keep reading!
