My daughter is 8 months old, and we discuss it already. Of course, she doesn't know what we are talking about, but I figure its good practice for me to start talking about it with her. When we are getting ready for bed, I have an ornament hanging in her room that her birthmom made for her, and we look at it, and I tell her the story of how her birthmom made that for her, and how we flew out to California to pick her up. That kind of stuff. I figure its never to early to start talking about it. My nephew is also adopted and he is three year old, almost four. He doesn't quite get it yet, but he knows that he's adopted and knows that M is adopted as well. He says, "Auntie, baby M is adopted just like me" and he is so proud of that fact...it's pretty neat! Hope that helps.
