We waited a very long time to talk to our kids. Like two months before our referral because I couldn't put off the nursery decorations any more. My boys were 3 and 5. They did great about all of it. And except for the now 4 year old wanting to have been born in China too they have always accepted all aspects. It seems to us that if they couldn't tell us if their birthday was next week vs next fall they couldn't understand the wait. We were dealing with the 5 year old getting ready for kindergarten at the time and he kept thinking it would happen the next week even though it was only March. Some kids need longer to come to terms with all the changes but I felt knowing to soon was just a weight I put on their shoulders that was really mine to carry.
