[quote=Anonymous]By the time my DD asked about this (age 8) she already had a younger sibling. Also, her mom had her at home for a few weeks before she brought her back to the hospital to be placed. I try to qualify everything with "I think maybe," so she knows I'm speculating, but I reminded her how hard those first few weeks with her baby sister were, and pointed out that her birth mom had a two-year-old & didn't have a husband or other family members to help. At one point DD said something like, "& it was hard to take care of me!" And I made sure to clarify that it wasnt that SHE was hard to take care of, it was that tiny babies are hard to take care of.[/quote]
