ok, so I'm sitting here 7 weeks pregnant, so excited I'm going to finally be a mom.... but I'm also confused and scared. My daughter will be 5 at the end of this year, so for me this is a long time coming. I am married to my best friend. How do I tell the adoptive parents that I'm pregnant. They have known that we were trying, but it had taken awhile... and I was running into some problems... So how do I tell them?? When do you tell them?? Do I tell my daughter or let them handle telling her. I have a visit with them in the next two weeks so this is something I need to figure out soon....

You tell them in the same way you would tell anyone else.

"We're pregnant!"

There is no reason the adoptive family should not be happy for you. If they seem less than thrilled, give them a week or so to get used to the thought of their child having a sibling somewhere else. I see that being the biggest struggle for many an adoptive parent; figuring out the new schematics of a relationship.

Congratulations!

My daughters' birthmom is expecting a baby any day now...her second since placing the twins five years ago. We knew they were trying to conceive with the first (a boy), but C did seem a little hesitant when she let me know about it. Not because of how my husband and I would feel. Her concern was how the girls would feel when they were older. This time (a girl) was easier for her to tell us.

I would say just tell them like you would anyone else. Hopefully, they'll be as thrilled for you as I am! Enjoy your pregnancy and your precious new baby!

Some day when the time is right for "N", I'd be thrilled to hear that she's expecting and getting to start a family! I would also be proud to hear that the Woobie has sibs.

Congrats and blessings through your pregnancy!

Tell them like you would anyone else Our Dds 1st mom had a beautiful little girl 5 months ago and she had someone else tell us and i wish that she had b/c we were so thrilled for her! we were able to go to the baby shower and visit at the hospital once the baby was born. As far as explainin to Dd(4) we just told her that A was having a baby I don't think she has figured out the sibling relationship yetbut once she is able to we'll explain that.

Congratulation on the pregancy
