I would definitely not make something up. I'm sure other friends and family know her adoption story, so eventually, she may find out and resent you not telling her the truth. I would probably read her the story of Moses from the Old Testament and explain that her biomom didn't think she could take care of her because of her situation (poverty, age, family history. I'm not sure her circumstances but you fill in the blank here). So she left her hoping someone would find her just as Moses' mom sent him down the river and his sister Miriam watched as he was found. I'm sure there are probably other ways you could relate this also. I would not lie but I also believe we should spare the children the burdens of our adult situations. Just an idea, good luck!
