In all 3 of our adoptions there are siblings. Because of adoptions are so open, they see each other frequently. The siblings are talked about frequently, their pictures are about the house just like the rest of the family pictures. Our oldest is 6, the 4 & soon to be 3. The younger 2 don't really ask yet but our 6 year old has. It is simply explained that she couldn't take care of her at that time in her life (Birth Moms Life). The hard part I am hoping not to have is how to explain that she went on to parent 2 more children even though her situation got WORSE not better!
But I also think that because it is so much an everyday sort of thing in their lives, that it is just like someone else said, just the way their family is. Like a divorced family, single parent family, etc. Make sense??
