How old were you? We’re still debating on when/how to tell her? My wife has tried keeping up with the other siblings so that we will have those answers for her.

It's literally one of my 1st memories. My mom explaining to me that I did not come out of her tummy. I was talking, so maybe 3? I'm really not sure exactly how old I was, but it was definitely before I started kindergarten.

This is a deeply personal decision but our mindset has always been the earlier, the better. There should be zero stigma attached to adoption when discussed within the family.

We told our son from the moment we brought him home. Started with bedtime stories about the angels who led us to him and the stories of bringing him home. The stories matured as he did. He doesn’t remember a time he didn’t know he was adopted and we are all very open discussing the topic if it comes up.
