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.

Krez this a fantastic idea and I hope you don't mind if I steal it. The picture thing has been an issue for us before and I wish I had thought of this.
We recently moved and I have choosen to let my girls share their story if they choose. They are in second grade now and I think they are old enough to decide if they want to share this or not. Prior to our move, everyone knew because they went thru the process with us.
