Our little guy has just turned three and he knows that he didn't grow in my tummy but in A's. I wrote him a story book too that uses photos from our lives and visits with his birthfamily. Eoin loves to read it and it helps us talk about our family. I agree Lynn keeping it simple and age appropriate has worked for us so far.

I have received many wonderful reviews and have been told that my book has helped parents talk honestly to their children about their beginnings. I hope you do not mind me contacting you, but I wrote this book to help kids, and adults alike, understand a little better what goes into the decision to place a child for adoption. Please let me know if you have any quesitons, I am a very open advocate for adoption with an incredibly positive voice.

When our daughter was about 3 she started asking more questions about her birth, if she came out of my tummy, etc so we read the book many more times and she seemed to have a better understanding. She's now 5 years old and at random times a few questions will come up but we're always very open and try to keep it simple.
