Ways that you explained to your little one they were adopted...

Like frosty said...for me it's about getting myself comfortable with the telling so when he understands words there's no awkwardness. We wrote a bedtime story (made it on shutterfly with photos) that tells the story of the day he was born and me getting a text while in the drive thru at mcDonalds with his picture and the very special lady who cared for him for nine months who picked us to be his parents. Since we have an open adoption, whenever I hear from her I talk to him about it "Mama L--- wanted to know how much you weighed at your doctor visit." There's also a photo of her and his sister in his nursery. When we name people in the photos in his room, we name her, too.
