adoption question

so .... when your child starts kinder, do you tell them if your child was adopted, or do you wait and let it be up to your child to share their story? just curious what others do and think about this....

also welcome to all ICLW readers, the quick scoop on me, ttc for over 8 years, have to awesome kids through domestic infant adoption, one adoption is very open, one is very closed, and May of this year found out I was pregnant, with NO fertility treatmeants!!! I am 39 and pregnant which is still blowing my mind! we are having a baby boy and little man is due Feb 16th 2010!
Thanks for stoping by!!

openess- answers form adoptive parents

I found this info here http://adoptionaz.blogspot.com/ and really found some of the answers very candid and honest. I think this is the kind of info I am really looking for as I read about open adoption, what do you think?

honesty about open adoption

ok, so I am wanting to get some opinions, some REAL opinions, not really candy coated, I think its a beautiful thing stuff (unless you truely think so). I do thinkg open adoption is the best option, but I thinks so many people think that open adoption kinda "fixes" all the issues with adoption. So I am just curious what you think....

What a day!

Well I had an ultra sound today and really got to see baby for the first time!! So amazing! We are having a boy and he was moving and sucking his thumb and wow! Its just so not a place I thought I would ever be, I am still processing this pregnancy, after 8 years and being a mom times two through domestic infant adoption, I really have very few words to express how I feel right now - so guess I will share pics from today instead!

moving along....

Wow time is flying! I am approaching 18 weeks in my pregnancy and staying very busy with the kids! I am finally getting time to catch up around here, cant wait to read all my fav blogs! hope all is well with everyone!

different world

One thing I find interesting being an adoptive mom is that my almost four year old, truely has no concept of pregancy or baby coming from mommies belly. We had decided not to tell her for a little bit, but ofcourse she is hearing the talk and truely she just dont get it, when she got a brother, we got in a car, drove to a office and picked him up. So this whole baby in my tummy thing is gonna be very different for us as parents and for my kids. Anyone with experience or advice please feel free to share! :)
