Hi all....A-dad here and we're with Amber. Since day 1 we've always included in our nightly prayers a special blessing for DD's b-mom thinking God for giving her the "strength and courage to give DD life and for making the choices she made which brought us together as a forever family." She's 14 months old now and this prayer will continue. We're thinking a lot lately about DD's adoption story in general and how we'll really begin to talk about it but we plan to use our prayer and a few books as tools for the present time and then continue to build upon the stories in the books to follow DD's story.
The thing to remember is this is not a "one size fits all" type of question because you really have to take into consideration when and what your child begins to understand about adoption and their story.
