[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is an old thread, but I have a related question: When do you tell the child and how? We're at the beginning of the process and haven't been chosen yet, but with even the slim chance of an adoption falling through, I'm not sure what I should tell my child and when. I like to think these things through early so that when the time comes, I'm mentally prepared for the conversation. My biggest fear is that we will bring the baby home and the birth mother will change her mind. I don't want my child getting attached to a "sibling" and then being heartbroken. Those of you who've BTDT, how did you handle? [/quote] How old is your child?[/quote] 5[/quote]
