Robbie is 4 (the age I was with final placement with finalization happening at 5.5 yrs). My husband and I mentioned that Robbie would not know his biological grandfathers (Sean's dad died when he was 4 and I know nothing about my birth dad). Robbie wanted to know about why he had another grandpa. We have never talked about my adoption to him so it took us by surprise. I hope we answered in a way he could understand, no more questions yet but I am sure they are coming.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858350553394138992noreply@blogger.com
