I don't think I totally addressed your question. It will depend alot on the age child you are adopting. In our instance - adopting a 6 and 7 year old...well, there were and still are questions. Kids want to know about where they lived, who took care of them - for us we've noticed most of the questions stem from each child's fears of not having mom and dad. In the beginning the language barrier kept my kids from understanding the questions - so myself, or a teacher (they were in school) would step in and answer. Now, the questions are fewer because the kids have figured out there isn't much difference between our children and themselves. I did not address what kids might say ahead of time - either by myself or through parents. As someone above mentioned, most families who are close to you will be addressing these things on their own. I hope that better addressed your concern.
