Miriana is 4 tomorrow!!

Hard to believe that 4 years have already gone by..I remember getting a call at work regarding her referral...

She often talks about being born in Guatemala, but never asks anything further. Do we wait until she starts to ask more or start to share with her? She knows she was born there and that an amazing family took care of her and we visited and came to bring her home with us, but she never asks anything else. She has seen my pregnant with a sibling and has seen us go to Guatemala and bring home a new baby. I don't want her to ever be mad at us or resent us for not telling her sooner, but she doesn't really ask.

I'm so glad you have asked this question
Our little girl was born 3-13-05
She askes quite a bit to see my belly etc
Tried to explain to her she was in my heart
Abby knows of the plane ride (we were in St.Louis kept showing her the type of plane we flew in on)
and of course (I kept the photo of her and her biological mother taken in the attny's office)
She doesn't like that lady holding her she even asked me why didn't I get my picture taken
showed her the one at the hotel me holding her which didn't please her
Like you she is 4 and very sharp
How and when do we handle this
