1) How do you explain to your child WHY they came to your family?
I explain that bmom's heart wasn't tough enough to be her mom and so heavenly father helped S find us because he knew we'd be the best for the job

I have been on these forums for a long time now and have yet to be offended, but this has done it. What do you mean the bmom's heart wasn't tough enough to be her mom. I would think this is much closer to the truth, and since the LDS church espouses truthfulness, maybe you should change your message to your child.
Her birthmom had a tougher heart than most. She was most likely young, felt like she had committed a mortal sin and wanted to make things right with her family and most importantly for her baby. She was probably told that this was the best thing she could do for the baby and that to keep the baby would not be good for the baby. It most likely broke her tough, tough heart!!!! You should tell your child that her birthmother had a very tough heart and loved her enough to want to give her baby all the things she was told she could not give.
I know this from experience. My heart was tough, and is even tougher now. Your child's birthmom suffered and sacrificed for this child. That is what you should tell your child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
