“will you tell ryland one day that he is adopted?”
Actually, we’ve already said it when we talk to him. What we decided to do was to tell him before he even knows what it means so that when he’s old enough to understand, he’ll think it’s normal.
All of his older (future) friends already know.

It makes you wonder how people keep that fact from kids successfully when all your friends know about the adoption. Someone would end up telling him. I think you’re doing the right thing!

I always knew I was adopted. I used to picture my parents choosing me a I was in a box like a doll on a shelf. That’s the imagination of a three or four year old! :)

Good for you!! That is the best thing you can do for him and you. Adoption is a normal thing. My kids actually find it odd when people don’t have birthdays and adoption days. :)

Thats what my parents did and I am grateful that they were always honest and open as necessary about it.

I think that’s the best way to go about it. If we were ever to adopt we’d do the same :-)

This method is what my parents used for my brothers and it works really well. We just talk about it like its a common thing, cause its no big deal.
