[quote=Anonymous]We started out by asking our son, then 4, how he felt about having a little sister or brother and we talked about all of his friends who have younger siblings. (He was very welcoming). If left entirely up to us we would have waited until we were more confident it was all going to come together and had a better sense for the timing. However, we did foster-to-adopt and a component of the home study was the social worker asking our son how he felt about having a new little brother or sister - So we had to bring him in on it earlier than we would have liked. One thing we did do which worked very well was bring a gift for our son when we come home with the baby and told him it was a present from his little sister. It was a Lightning McQueen t-shirt which was the best present ever as fas as our son was concerned. [/quote]
