Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: My husband and I adopted our daughter in 2019, and she is now 5. As of a week ago, we were matched with a birth mother who is due in six weeks. We have explained the process to our daughter (we made a book about our life, and one day someone will pick us), but now that we’ve been chosen, what is the best way to approach this with my daughter? We have several of the books from your (wonderful) book list, but not many pertain to same sex parents who are bringing home an adopted sibling. How do we prepare our daughter for the possibility of having a sibling, while also being open and honest about the possibility that this baby might not be ours to take home? Resources:Prepare Children for the Adoption of a Sibling (Suggested Books)Books for Transracially Adopted Kids (Suggested Books)Talking with Kids about Adoption (Resource page)Support the showPlease leave us a rating or review.
