I pretty much do the same as the other posters mentioned. We work adoption books into our stack of night time stories. After hearing it enough that seems like a very normal way to build a family (which it is). Occasionally when we are rocking in the chair at night I will tell them their story "Once upon a time, there was a mommy and a daddy that wanted another baby...then one day Miss N. called and told them about a little boy/girl who's bmom had picked them to be their mommy and daddy. They drove late into the night...." I made scrapbooks for all the kids 1st year and for our children we adoped their books say "Once there was a mommy and daddy that wanted another baby very much. On XXXX, Miss N. called ....." There books also have pictues with the judge and Miss N on finalization day and pics from their finalization parties.
My oldest just turned 3 and he is just starting to ask more questions. He was convinced that babies came from the store (Walmart to be exact). He knew that we dropped him and his brother off and grandma's and came home a couple days later with a new baby. I let him go with that for a while, then we moved on to babies come from the hospital. We are just starting to talk about babies coming from tummies...but that is still confusing for him.
Good luck!
