So far what I've been telling my 2 1/2 yr old (she's been home from Russia here with me since she turned 2 yrs old) is that I feel so lucky to get to be her mom, and that I wish I could have been her mom all along, but I came to Russia to get her as soon as I knew about her.

I've also just barely started telling her that babies grow in a special place in their birth mom's tummy, and that she grew in another woman's tummy. She has seemed totally not to have a clue what I'm talking about yet & she seems totally disinterested so far about it. Maybe after we see someone we know pregnant & then with a baby it'll make more sense to her.
