With M getting older, we started talking to her about Adoption. I know that she really does not understand what the word really means, but we wanted to start having her get used to the word.
We have quiet a few books talking about adoption and we have been reading those to her almost every night, but we allow her to choose the book and sometimes it is about adoption and sometimes it is not. We also have a picture of her birthmother on her dresser in a nice white frame and we have been talking to her about who this person is.
Since adoption is starting to be a more familiar word in our family we ask M..."who is adopted?" and she proudly says, "A" and we say, "who else?" and she says, "M, Luke & Roscoe". For those of you who do not know...Luke and Roscoe are our labradors!
She's such a smartie!!! Love her and I can't wait for her to figure out how loved she is!
