[qs mom]

My son is an International adoptee. He is 7 1/2, home nearly 5 years. I am a single mom and very open about our family coming together through adoption.

He understands that he lived with Dr. K and the other kids before he lived with me. He understands that he didn't grow in my belly. I am actually pretty impressed at his understanding.

Today he asked me what he name was before, which is something we have talked about before. Then he asked me what my name was before I came to live with grandma and grandpa.

He thinks that everyone is adopted! I've tried to tell him that not everyone is adopted, not all families are formed that way. My way isn't working. I need to find another way to talk to him.
