Great post, but one part concerns me ....if you tell your adopted son that his bio family fought to keep him and failed, aren't you afraid he might resent you for being the one who "won"? It sounds so adversarial - if there was a "fight" then someone lost. I'm thinking this is particularly likely to come up in the teen years, when even bio kids frequently announce that they wish (occasionally) that someone else was their parents!
