I just finished reading your post and the responses you have received.
I was adopted into a family with a a bson of their own. For as long as I can remember, I have always known I was adopted. My parents told me as soon as they felt I was old enough to understand. I believ I was around 4. I can remember growing up telling everyone that "I was the special child...I was chosen by my mom and dad!" I know that probably ticked my older brother off a bit, but did I care? :)
I stress to you, PLEASE tell your child now, and don't wait any longer. At 9, he'll understand! Tell him the whole wonderful process you went through, and how lucky you are to have found him. Make him realize how special he really is to you and your family. Although I learned at a very early age I was adopted, my parents chose not to disclose any more info to me. It was never discussed. Unfortunatly, both my aparents are deceased...and I know nothing!!!!
It's a lonely feeling!!!
Good Luck!!! Let us know how things go!
