At bedtime tonight dd was asking where I was born - told her the town and she said 'of course' because randomly it's where my mum lives now.
I was just about to tell her that my mum wasn't the person who gave birth to me - but stopped before telling her - dd is 6 - do you think she needs to know? not sure why I wanted to tell her? it is part of my identity and obviously my mum is still her grandparent.
Have any of you adoptees told your children that you're adopted?
I'm probably thinking about it a bit more at the moment as its my birthday v soon so more in my thoughts at the moment.
Would appreciate any input!

I nearly told dd that I was adopted today? Should I?
