I honestly think that my son "got it" when he was only 3. That fall, my best friend, my sister-in-law and my next door neighbor all gave birth within weeks of each other. He finally got that he didn't grow in my tummy like these babies didin their mom's tummies and that he grew in another woman's tummy. By the time he was 5, he pretty much had the story straight -- especially after a family friend adopted a baby from China. And I know by the time he was 7, he really grasped the finer details -- he asked me many, many questions around that time about the circumstances of his birth, adoption, etc.
