My friend says we should bring it up first, and explain it to her so that she is prepared when it comes up at school. She knows she is adopted, but doesn't really know what that means. I need help in knowing what to do. I want to make this as easy as possible for her, and certainly don't want her to think that this situation is stressful for me (she is very bright and intuitive)
