My kiddos came home at 6 and 7 years old and those are the first pictures we have of them. All the teachers at their school know they are adopted, because I worked there and they all went through the process with me. We've had 4 projects where baby pictures were requested. So far, we have printed a picture of the RUssian flag and put "I was born in Russia on (date)" - then we put one of the first pictures we have of them (their referal photo many times) and say "I came to America with my family on (date)"

All teachers have understood that our story line is a little different and so far, my kids have been very proud of their differences.

For family trees we use our family only...mostly because we have so little info on birth families.
