How can I tell my child that they were adopted?

Момичето на люлката

The conversation about adoption should start right from the very beginning – from your first day together, even if your child is a very small baby. Invent a beautiful story for your child and tell it as they grow up. For example, about a mother who had spent a long time looking for her beautiful child until she finally found it. Love between souls is the most genuine explanation for adoption. Show creativity, open your soul. Be thankful to your beautiful child, that it has appeared in your life and tell it so all the time.

The child will accept all this as something quite natural and beautiful. In response to your gratitude and love, your child will also feel gratitude and ever-increasing love.

 

If parents thinks and talks about adoption without anxiety, then the child will accept this as part of their lives without worry or anxiety.
