[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you're off to a good start OP. Age appropriate information, as soon as questions or opportunities come up. More information as they grow into it. Sufficiently full disclosure that you are comfortable discussing it fully before they even really understand what you're telling them. (I needed to "practice" talking about it until I could do so without shame. I didn't want my own complicated feelings of grief/inadequacy/loss in any way color how my children hear me talk about the amazing miracle and gift it is that we get to be their parents.) My kids have had more questions as they've gotten older (now in middle school) but they're grown up talking about the many ways people grow into families, so hopefully they don't feel any stigma - just how very much they were wanted and how lucky we are. It gets easier the more you talk about it, in my experience at least.[/quote]
