I swore I woul dnever tell the school again but DS started at a time where he was displaying some Survivor traits as well. I shared it with his teacher and asked that she be very sensitive to this when discussing families, family trees etc. I let her know that we felt it was important that it be made clear that there are all types of families. Its interesting that she shared with me that she knew that and that she was adopted as well. A few weeks later she brought a photo of her A-Mom and herself to show me how much she and her A-Mom looked a like.

I hate to tell but some of the survivor traits also look to an outsider lik ethere may be something else going on at home. I will not tell after he leaves this school as he will be old enough to speak about his story on his own then.

We initially were speaking to him about Ru and adoption but he is too young to fully grasp it all so we have let it die down and at least the seed is planted so it won't come as a shock or anything.

We have a picture from when he was admitted into the baby home. One single photo, color. Good to ask the baby homes if you are in process because they almost always have a photo and will gie it to you.
