The practice you had in talking about adoption to your infant will make you feel infinitely more confident when your kindergartener starts asking tough questions.

Kids process information at their own rate and are very good at asking additional questions and seeking clarification when they are ready to know the answer. While your child needs to understand that she joined your family through adoption and what that means, limit yourself to answering the questions that she asks. She will ask for information when she's ready for it -- and you never know when she will be ready. ...
