[QUOTE="Malika, post: 481418, member: 11227"] Very sad story, ready2run. As you say, the best way of dealing with it is probably just telling the truth, adapted to the child's age. Or to be ready to answer questions, I guess, whenever they arise. I do fear for my son a little in this regard because I think not to know who one really is or where one came from is or can be very haunting. Perhaps one day we will find his birth mother - it's not impossible if he really wants to try. We have the area of Marrakesh where she came from. I myself used to wonder about her a lot when I first adopted him, who she was and what her story was. Much less so now. I guess we are building new stories. [/QUOTE]
