[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PPs but I do not think you should lie to your mom. It will come out later then it will be much worse. The child deserves to know they are adopted. You need to make it normal from day one. If you lie to the child then they find out later they will be devastated. This is more important than anything else imo. - adoptive parent..[/quote] OP cant even speak to her mother. Their relationship is terrible. I'm with OP - keep it a secret until you believe it's time to tell your adopted child. Maybe that's age 8, 10, 18, whatever is best and a mother (you) knows what's best for her child. [/quote] Adoptive parents are advised to tell their kids from the very beginning so it’s something the kid grows up knowing about themselves. Good luck, OP. Sounds like you have a good plan.[/quote]
