We have always talked about her adoption and read the stories. Having an open relation ship helps to bring up the topic in a natural way. If we are visiting them or they are coming to our house I will ask her who Christa is, she replys "my brithmom". Recently a close relative was expecting a child and we were able talk about the baby being in her tummy, I said "like you were in Christa's tummy". I then let her ask questions and offerd simple answers. I too have been told this is the best possible way to ease them into understanding the concept of adoption.
Sorry if that got too long. When your passionate about something you can talk about it forever!
Best wishes to you and your family.
Missy
