noerose, I totally agree with Heidi, if you read my post iit says that three is the age I made sure that my daughter knew, because she was old enough to understand and young enough to take it as it was.
jenesnow, I agree with Heidi, leading him to the subject by heritage would be easy, you could also lead him into asking about your pregnancy with him. You could also just say it. Talking about adoptive families would be good too, after he understood how every other adoptive mama loves her baby telling him that he was never in your belly (much less harsh than "your not my biological son") would be easy. Obviously, I favor less than technical terms like "before mom" instead of biological mother and "never in my belly" instead of "not your biological mother" because they are easier to understand and do not emphasize what the child is NOT to you.
I hope that you will take Heidi's advice about doing it tomorrow. Remember that once it is out, that is it. If you can just bring yourself to start the conversation the biggest burden is lifted and it has been done.
