I'm interested to read responses to this as well - though I am an aparent. We have an open adoption - my children are siblings and they have a sibling who is with family members of thier first mom. My son is almost 6 , and more than a year ago he got into an argument with one of the neighbor kids who insisted that he did NOT have a brother. What made the situation even more delicate was that the child my son was arguing with was also adopted. At the time, I did not know how much he knew of his story, or even adoption in general. I just explained in very vague terms that my kids did, in fact, have a brother who did not live with us. In the end it was fine, and about 6 months or so after that, the kids brother came for a visit and was a celebrity on the block!
