How can I start talking to my adopted child about their past? What information do children need at different ages? What if my child has difficult or painful experiences in their past? This book tells you all you need to know about the whys, whens and hows of telling the truth about an adopted child's origins.

It provides guidance on why telling your child is so important, what to tell your child and when, how adopted children and their birth parents feel, and where you can get more help.
