I would add: Get to know her. Maybe asking all the questions in the first conversation will be too much for her. Or maybe she's the type to get everything done business-like. Ask her how she is, how the pregnancy's been, what she likes and doesn't like. Try and see what she wants to talk about. Also, remember to let her ask questions. And you don't have to get everything done in one conversation.
Good luck!

Child #1: Is that your mother?
Child #2: Yes.
Child #1: Why is she white and you are black?
Child #2: Because I am adopted, and black people have more melanin than white people do.
Child #1: Oh, let's go on the high bars.
