if you have an adopted kid, would u tell him/her that he/she was adopted?

well, for me.. my younger sister is an adopted child... and if i were in her shoes.. i'll gonna tell the child that he/she is an adopted child.. but i will also tell the child that even if he/she is an adopted we love him/her as our own...

wow, thats an amazing discussion uve posted. i guess, eventually when the kid grows up he/she would need to be told that-its better he/she hears it from u rather than an outsider. now, when i say gows up- it depends on the childs comprehension and capabality of handling such an issue or ability to face such a thing

Of course i would, you cant let a child think you're their real parents knowing very well you're not. Every adopted child deserves to know who their real parents are as they also have a right to look them up & find out where they really came from. I think it's a little selfish that your sister would allow her child to be living a complete lie, that child deserves to ONE DAY know that his parents aren't his biological parents & that he has another mother out there. Who knows, she may have only given the child up to make sure he gets a better life. Most adopted kids want to know where they REALLY came from & why they were given up in the first place - they deserve to know.

it wud be hard to answer dat question.i mite eventually tell her.or i mite not.it depends on my current mindset.

I think , I must tell him/her that he/she was adopted, may be he/she want to their real parents. Best regards

I think I would tell the kid, but not until the child is older...maybe 12 or so, but that depends on the maturity of the child. I don't have any experience with that, but to me, I'd rather be honest with the kid then to hold something back that is as important as this. Most of my friends who were adopted liked the fact that they were told, and would prefer to have it that way. Only one, said she wouldn't want to know and then added, if that really mattered.

no of course
