Your child, as soon as he can talk, will begin to ask you all sorts of questions that pertain to his adoption. Some of these questions may make you uncomfortable. The fact he's adopted is a significant part of his heritage and, therefore, is a reality for you, your child, and the rest of the family. Answering his questions, though they may be tough, will help him understand the reality of his family and the things that happened before he became part of your family.
