I agree with PSM, that your daughter will bring it up as she needs to. Not sure how old your girl is, but mine are 7...they ask questions when they want and we answer in an age-appropriate way, but we don't try to "push" the issue. We don't want to suggest the idea of loss and grief - it's something they'll express when they discover the feelings (if ever). Some adopted children never feel that way.
One of my daughters has mentioned a couple of times that she wishes she could have grown in my tummy. Unlike you, we were unable to conceive, so I've told her that I wish she could have come from my tummy, too, but that my tummy was broken and I couldn't have a baby. I also remind her that she wouldn't be who she is if she came from me, that God intended her to come from C's tummy, not mine.
Congrats on your new baby, by the way!!!
