How to talk about adoption?

We are adopting a sibling group of 3 boys. The oldest is 2 yrs, the second is 15 months, and the 3rd is one month.
We are trying to prepare ourselves for when to talk to them about adoption but are really unsure of how to approach it or what to say exactly. We don't want adopted to be their primary definition of self. I hope that makes sense. We feel that being adopted is just a part of who they are and their history but is not their number one definition. Gosh, I hope I'm explaining this right.
Anyway, any suggestions on when would be good to start talking about it, how to get started, what books would be good, etc would be a huge help.
They are truly a blessing and gift from God. We can't begin to express our emotions or our love for these boys because words just won't do it. Hopefully, some of you out there can help us out so we can share the truth with the boys early on.

Thanks!
Emmy
