Children are god’s most beautiful creation but even today in our society, the adoptive child and the mother of the adoptive child is not given the same respect.  All age groups of children are adopted. But many people prefer adopting the child at a very young age because they are unaware of the natural parents. Some have some vague memories of their natural parents. The rights of the adoptive children are more or less same all over the world, despite of the fact where they belong, or what customs they followed or how old they are. It is very important to make them understand the adoption scenario for their physical and mental development.

It is very important to tell the child if the child is adopted. This is not as simple as it sounds.  The way you tell this truth to the child is another important thing to deal with caution as this can leave an impact in the mind of the child for the rest of his life. Be patient and say the right words at the right time to disclose the child’s past to him which will make him emotionally healthy.

The question that arises in the mind is that is it necessary to tell the child about the adoption?  And the answer is yes. Every human being has a right to know about his/her past. Such curiosity always makes the individual uncomfortable and he/she seeks for the answers. A lot many parents who have adopted a child worry on telling the child about their adoption. And many times the parents don’t and the child gets to know from a third person. This hurts him even more. It is always better to tell your child with all your love and make him understand that bringing him into your life was the most beautiful thing.

Present the truth with facts so that the child can relate it to. If you have any knowledge about the biological parents, you can tell the child about them. As your child grows, so will his questions and you have to satisfy his questions urge by giving facts as per his age can handle. You can get information of the child from the institution from where you have adopted the child.

If the child falls below 2 years of age, start making him understands from the beginning.  When the child start going to the school, they step into the new world and thus the adoptive child needs to know where he stands. This adoption should not be a mean of embarrassment for the child. Spend time with your child and answer his questions in this regard.

Make your child understand the meaning of being parents. Tell them that though you have not given them birth but you are not playing less that the biological parents. All this will help the child to relate to other biological children and his relationship with you will also be like relationship to biological parents.
