It’s important for parents to talk to their children openly about their adoption. By having age-appropriate conversations early and often, parents can remove any stigma around adoption. Parents who are forthright about adoption have some control over when and how their children learn their personal story, and they ensure that their children receive constant emotional support, stability, and love.
