[quote=Anonymous]OP, I would see a family therapist with experience in this field and discuss this, and make a plan. As your child begins to ask questions more, I would plan to bring her into several meetings as a family with the therapist. It's not that anything is "wrong" with you as a family and that you need mental health help -- but having a therapist work with you through this could be extremely helpful for all of you and help open up lines of communication from the beginning and make sure that everyone is coping okay and feels on-the-same-page. Given the circumstances, I'm very curious why an open adoption was chosen. Was this advocated for by you and/or the bio-mother? It seems somewhat surprising to me given the fact that the bio-mother has the other kids. This must have been something that occurred to you during the process -- what were the discussions, and how did the bio-mother answer any questions about this situation?[/quote]
