I gave my first born up for adoption. We have just recently connected and began the getting to know each other process. Things are great and I belive they will be a part of my life from here on out. We have not met face to face yet, but talk on the phone often.
I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old. I do not know how or when to explain that they have a half sibling. Any advice?

I'm not sure. The son that I placed will be 20 in September, the son that I adopted will be 3 in November. The son that I placed and I are in the beginning stages of reunion. We have talked on the phone once and fb chatted 3 times. The son that I adopted has seen pictures of his brother all his life and he knows M is his brother. I think you should sit the kids down and be honest in an age appropriate way. That's my 2 cents anyway. Good luck on your reunion! I wish you the best.

I agree and intend on telling them very soon, but I guess I just don't know how to start the conversation or how to keep it age appropriate. I have been searching for articles or books to research, but can't find anything. I'm afraid my 6 year old may "freak out" and wonder if I may send them to another family to live or understand my reasons.
