We brought our son home at 6 1/2 months old, and I started telling him the story of his adoption like a bedtime story. He is now almost 5 years old, and sometimes asks me to tell him the story. He knows that he is the little boy in the story. We talk about Guatemala, and he knows where it is on the map, and that that is where he was born.

My dilemma now is at what age do I show him a photo of his birth mom. He knows that he was born to another woman, but I don't know if he fully understands the concept. I asked the SW who did our home study for our second adoption, and she thought he was too young to be given this information. Any thoughts or experience with this situation?
