[quote=Anonymous]DH’s niece is visiting and told me and my DD today that “God dropped me from the sky” and her parents found her in a bush. Then she said not IN the bush but right next to it. She’s 8, as is my DD. I was pretty surprised, especially since they aren’t religious, but I just looked interested and said it was lucky her parents found her. My DD started laughing, which I feared would hurt her cousin’s feelings so I redirected the conversation. My sister-in-law previously told me that they’d let her know she was adopted, but I didn’t realize this was the story they told her. They’re from a culture that still has more old-fashioned views about adoption. How do I discuss this with my daughter so that she’s more sensitive but not privy to more information than our niece herself? We are atheist, and our daughter knows this, so any talk of God is not readily accepted. Guess I’m looking for advice or others’ experience. Thanks. [/quote]
