There was no record on her father.
This year I started tell my daughter that she was adopted and she seems to understand the simple story I tell her very well. The problem I'm having is what to say about her birth father. Recently, she has become obsessed with the notion of "daddy".
I would really appreciate advise on what to tell her. It might be difficult for a 3 year old to understand that I don't know where her daddy is.
