There is an adoption author and speaker Sherrie Eldridge who has written books for adoptive parents and also has written a children's book titled Forever Fingerprints. I have heard Sherrie speak a couple times now and would suggest her books to you and for your child. Even as young as she is reading the book by Sherrie for children she can begin to understand this. It is never too early to tell your child they are adopted. I was adopted as a newborn in the early 60s and the mindset then was for the adoptive parents to say as little as possible. My adoptive mom did tell me about my adoption when I was 6 or 7 years old but I am just now able to remember part of the conversation because she kept it so brief and I never felt safe to talk about it growing up. I hope the book or other resources help your child understand about her adoption.
