Hello,
This is my first post, so please go easy on me.
For those of you who have started talking to your children about their adoption, how have you managed to get the balance right between making your child feel proud of themselves, but at the same time telling them in a sensitive way not to blurt out this info to everyone they happen to meet?
Of course, there is nothing for them to be ashamed of, but they obviously need to be at an age when they can make an informed decision on who they want to share this with, in the same way you wouldn't reveal personal (non-adoption related) matters to everyone you know.
I would be grateful for any words of wisdom or tips on how to word this. I ask this as a mother of a pre-schooler who has only revealed our adoption to family and certain friends.
Thanks.
