We've been talking about it since birth - our girls just turned 7 - and it's never been something they *didn't* know about themselves. When they were tiny babies, I would say things like "Mommy is so glad we got to adopt you and that C chose us to be your mommy and daddy."
I remember a time when the girls were about 3 and I was preparing a letter and pix to send to their birthmom. One of them asked me what I was doing and I said was sending pictures to their birthmom. She wanted to know what the word meant and I said "she had you and S in her tummy before Mommy and Daddy got to be mommy and daddy."
Basically, we've just had age-appropriate conversations as they come up. Nothing scary or deep or profound...just normal talk.
