3 of our adopted children were "taken". We tell them that their birth mother's could not take care of any child at that point in their lives. If you say "she couldn't take care of YOU", they may feel that was something wrong with them. I make a point of telling them that their biological siblings also did not live with their biological mothers and that, I think, makes a difference.
