Talking about adoption

Closed, semi-open and open adoptions; As you talk about adoption, build and revise your profile, that topic is always on the radar.  For many adoptive parents talking about adoption with their child is as uncomfortable as talking about sex.  Yet the conversation is important because as your child grows a strong sense of self is so important.  Starting that discussion early can set the stage for open dialog as your child enters their teen years.  How helpful it is to know “that” discussion isn’t looming on the horizon.  How helpful it is to a teenager to know they can have frank discussions with their parents.  Trust me. I’ve been there…three times.
