It’s never too early to talk to your little one about being adopted, and there are some great children’s books out there to help. One of our favorites is Little Miss Spider by David Kirk. Little Miss Spider learns that family is about love, not what you look like.  The story is also available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_7oNLoOcYc.

Some of the questions your child will ask may be difficult, but if you plan ahead, those difficult conversations will become incredible bonding experiences.
