[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 435169, member: 11791"] Have an adopted brother - he had 5 homes before he started school - ours was after that. He told "stories" that we would never believe... they were just too far out. Then, in working with the case manager, we found out that some of these "stories" were in fact true. Others, didn't make sense - until he was grown, and tracked down some siblings... it turns out some of these strange stories just got moved on the time line... things that no one thought he would ever remember from when he was a toddler, he associated with about age 3 - an age when we would expect him to remember some of this, but he was in a setting where it just didn't jive. So, yes - child memories can be very fluid, and especially when they don't have the usual sign-posts to tie things to and on-going validation of the stories as they grow... Even our own kids have fluid memories... things that happened after we moved to another city, they associate with the city they were born in... and they were well into school-age when we moved!
