[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I’m not explaining it right. Or maybe my kid is different from yours? What are the magic words? [/quote] Different words are different for different kids. You have to find what level he's at and talk to him there. My son knew his bio mom's name and where to find her. We once drove over and spent an afternoon sitting in the car across the street from her house. I had to take him so I didn't lose him. He wound up getting back in the car and crying the whole way home. But after that he felt much more settled, because at that point, HE chose, rather than it being chosen for him. [/quote]
