How to tell your child they're adopted

I honestly think you need to make it a priority. I would not sit him down to talk to him. The next time you see a pregnant woman, you should open the conversation. You don't need to get into details with him. And he really won't give much thought to his birth mom at that age because you are all he has known. I would just tell him that she wanted a better life for him than she was able to give at the time. Then you answer his questions, age-appropriately as they come up. The key is to make it not a big deal. And let him know as he gets older that it's ok to wonder and inquire about his birth family, although he may not.
