What is the best time to tell kids they are adopted?

it really depends with different kids and the families, and i would suggest you take a cue from your child. depending on your child's maturity, as well as emotional capabilities, you can discuss about it. if you find it difficult to start the topic, you can share a few stories that are about adoption. whatever you do, be confident and make it very clear to your kid that it is just about biologically different parents, but that you are the parent and your child is yours, and that you love him or her more than anything else in the world :)
