[quote=Anonymous]I figured out that my mother had been raped on my own, and since my parents wouldn't discuss it, it was incredibly destructive. It made the entire story of how I came into her life taboo, and I was very angry that I'd been lied to. I don't think you can predict how your DC will respond. I think you tell a straightforward adoption story and when and if the questions get more specific, you decide then. You might consider working with a family counselor anyway, if you child starts to talk about knowing more. Understand this. Your child's story is her story. It's not up to you to decide what it means. You handle it carefully, but don't falsify. It is not yours to alter. [/quote]
