[Kasey]

We were very open to my nieces and one nephew (who are all of the age to understand), not to mention the fact their mom was adopted, so it is openly discussed.
We answered every question they have had. I have also told them that it doesnt make our son who he is and he should never be labelled because of it, even though they think it is "totally cool" that he is from Russia, it will be up to him who and when he tells his story.
The totally get it and truthfully almost 2 years later I think they "forget" how he came to our family, he is just their cousin.
But I did find being open and honest with them and asnwering any question they may have ahead of time helped fend off the questions that may have come at inappropriate times.

Also we gave them access to childrens books which discussed adoption and several specific to Russia.
