Hello all!
This is my first post to this forum and I hope to glean some good advice from all of you. My wife and I are born again Christians and have a 4-1/2 yr. old adopted girl from birth. We have been praying lately about the right timing for telling her that she is adopted and we believe the time is right now. My question is just simply what methods have worked well for any of the adoptive parents on this board?
Our daughter has several adopted friends from different ethnic cultures and we have a couple of books that we have read to her over the last 4-1/2 yrs that have adoption themes. I am just a little nervous of the obvious, (rejection of us) as her parents even though she is only 4-1/2 yrs. old. She is very bright and has been asking us more questions lately than ever about such things as where do babies come from and where is her adopted friends daddy (single Mom adoption).
Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
