Hi,
My husband and I adopted a then 2 year old boy last May 2005. He is everything we dreamed of. He is happy and well adjusted at this time. My question, he is starting to ask about his past foster family, particualrily about another boy he grew up with. We do visit occationally and keep in touch. He wants to know how he is and things. Also recently my son asked for a baby, I asked what he meant and he said he wants a brother. I feel he is to young to address the fact I can not have biological children and thus the reason we adopted him. He appears to be very smart and certainly has a good memory. Could such a young child remember his past? I know he had some traumas very young with his birth family. Also another friend from pre-school mom just had a baby and most likely his teacher discussed it. As I asked him why he wants a baby and he said teacher said. I know there will be many more questions, expecially about his adoption. We have no problems discussing with him his adoption and have always been open with him. Of course right now age appropriate. I am going to need a lot of guidance in the comming years.
Debbie
