Hi,I am the adoptive mom to 3 beautiful chidren. They were placed in foster care prior to being adopted by us. We never met their birth parents. Now, due to a sibling being in foster care, we may have the opportunity to talk with the birth parents. What questions might our children have as they grow up that we might get answered? I am really hoping to at least get some pictures of the sibling and the parents. Any suggestions for other things the children might want to know? I am open to the birth parents writing a letter to the children and sending it through the agency. Thanks,Jamie

We also adopted siblings from foster care and have the honor of contact with their birthfamily.
Some of the things our boys have wanted to know ...
Lots about the birthparents ... all their favorites, food, clothes, music, sports, vacations, memories.
Lots about when their were born - what time, who was there, any funny/interesting stories about their birth
What they looked like as infants, what did they eat, play with, do, go, who looked after them. The GOOD memories to replace the bad ones they have ...
What are the talents of the bparents, bgrandparents etc. What sort of GOOD things did they inherit from their birth parents. For example, our sons are very athletic, they inherited that ability from their bdad.
Essentially ANY information you can get will be cherished by your children :)

As a child growing up in a closed adoption I always wanted to know what my firstmom looked like. But more importantly try to get as much medical history as possible. I didn't have any medical info until I was 15 and by then I had suffered for years with stuff that had I had my family history I probably wouldn't have had such a rough time!
