Foster Adopting an Older Child - How do you discuss birth family past?

This will be tough as there's no way of knowing if the birth family will stay in your child's life. Honestly, I have contact for the adults and we see them when they have get-togethers. It wasn't east on my youngest as he felt his great aunt was mean to him. But time helped him heal and he got to a place where he could see them and give everyone a kiss and hug. Let your child tell you what happened; and take it from there.
