When they ask ? Be honest!

Hi everyone! I wanted to talk about how we talk about adoption in our home and see what others say to their kids. To begin with, the foster parents that had our kids gave a photo album for each child. (their Life Book) inside are pictures of Bio mom and Dad as well as grandparents and the foster family. The kids caseworker was a wonderful man and somehow he even got ahold of some of their Sonogram Pics. Anyway, two years ago at age 6 my oldest began asking questions about his bio family. Being a new mother I played it by ear and one day told him to meet me in the room b/c I had something to show him. We sat on my bed together and I let him go through his album. On each page he ask questions or revealed the memory of that day. We laughed at the pictures of the grandparents (biogrand) and we smiled and talked about seeing them again soon. (we don't have an open adoption with BioMOm but my husband and I have adopted the Biograndparents too) My son did not change after viewing the album, he knows his biomom and dads name now, but since I was so honest he is secure and has not ask another question since that day 2 years ago. (I guess i did really good!!!!!) Since I was so honest, he trusts me and knows he can come to me with any and all questions and that I will try my best to answer them. He is 8 years old. My 5 year old daughter has been wondering about who's belly she came out of and again, I try my best to answer her questions. She knows her Bio Moms name and knows thats the belly she was cooked in (LOL) but I haven't gotten the photo album out yet for her to see. I will do that this weekend. We are very open about adoption in our house and want our children to know they can ask us anything about it and we will answer them truthfully to the best of our ability. My babies know that (THE BIO MOM) is precious in our hearts because she gave us the gift of our family and although we don't know her personally we love her. For some reason age 5-6 is when they start asking questions in our case anyway.
