[QUOTE="buddy, post: 512925, member: 12886"] YES. Q actually has talked about his feelings little by little over the years about adoption. Our adoption therapist said his feelings were developmentally appropriate (they kind of go through stages) but his ability to deal with it all was affected by his developmental delays and communication issues. I bet that is true to a degree for your difficult child. Have you ever made a life book for him? A book that tells his story and you can add to it and morph it to his developmental level answering questions as they come up. It is kind of like a life social story. I bet adults here who are adopted could also give you lots of information on what statements are useful and which ones are not. I have told Q that when he is 21 I would help him search to see where his bio parents are if he wanted me to. But that until that time it is the law that I cant (not especially true, I could just do it, I know their names and birthdates). He is just not developmentally or emotionally in a place to add that to his plate. [/QUOTE]
