My son, Daniel is 3 years old turning 4 this July 18th. We love him with all our hearts and he means the world to us. My wife and I had him since he was 3 weeks old.
We want to let him know early that he is adopted and that despite of this, he is our own flesh and blood and he is no different from other kids. How do we do this? |

Thanks a lot! I guess I will start from there. Yeah, "Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born" sounds great. What really scares me is that my son really asks lots of questions and I don't want to be caught in a corner were I wouldn't know what to answer.
Thanks again.... :-) |

i was 11 years old when i came to know about my adoption.
i went through hell that time. so i would suggest it is the time when you can start hinting him about his adoption. so he can grow with the same feelingg. else it can create hazardous results. as i lost my childhood because of the mental trauma i suffered to. |

Thanks... I guess that is the other side of the coin...
Hell sounds like a very strong word. If you don't mind me asking, you felt betrayed? Lost? Unwanted? The wife and I are already dropping hints and I will be getting ready for a battery of questions from my son about this. Rest assured, your input is very much appreciated. |

Hey ray,
I know this thread is from a while ago, but I am new here. Hopefully you are subscribed so you get this. I have a very good friend who is adopted, his sister is as well. I believe that his parents let him know as soon as they thought he would understand what they were telling him. I'm not sure of the exact age or exactly what they told him, but I will talk to him and see if I can get some more details(if you haven't told your son already). If you have let us know how it went. |
