When to/How to Tell.......
Jerry's question about "how do you know a child wants to be adopted" is a good one- reminds me of a question I've been sitting on for some time.
I am considering adopting an older child (early to mid teens). My concern is, being gay myself, at what point
do I tell the child? I would want the child to know before adoption- no sense in my mind bringing a kid into my home and then finding out s/he's uncomfortable with having a gay parent . So, how do I bring up the subject, and when? I feel it is important that the child have all the facts too. Just not sure how to broach the subject with a kid.
(this isn't an invitation for anti gay comments - )
