When to tell the kids?

When should we tell our older kids (who aren't old, they're 2, 4, 6) that we are adopting? They know the boy we have applied for, and love him already, but I don't want to tell them too soon. Anything could happen, and even if things go perfectly, it will be a long wait, especially for kids.

When did you let your kids know? Timewise and during which stage?

Will the social worker want to do a family interview?

What if one of the kids balks? (Which won't change our minds.) How should we deal with that?

Help!
