We told our two children (5 and 1 at the time) right away. They have always been excited, worried, concerned, just as we have been. Telling them early allows them to get used to the idea and ask about any questions they may have. Little ones will have concerns, too, but it is best to address these right away. Telling them early has allowed us to share our learning about the Chinese culture with them and, at this point, they are as excited to meet their new sibling as soon as they can!
One note, our agency requires that all children 5 and up be interviewed in the home study. It might be best to let them in on the news well in advance of this.
