I adopted out my daughter eight years ago, My son keeps asking about her.?

My daughter and son have the same father but I had to put her up for adoption because I was having money troubles. I told my son about her but he is so obsessed about finding her. She is 10 yrs old now. Do you think I did the right thing, telling my son about her?

    Yes I think you did, I too have put up a child for adoption, but my other children know completely about him. I explained to them that we can always wonder about him, but we cannot search for him until he is 18. It is a difficult thing for children to understand but if anything ever happens to you at least he will know that he does have a sibling out there that he can search for once they are 18.

    You had to be honest. No sense in hiding the truth because it always come out in the end. It will take a while for your child to adjust and he may want to find his sister. This will be a mechanism to help him cope. He is probably worried about what may happen to him if more problems arise. You need to reassure him of the love you have for both your children.

    Yes, but kids are too venerable at the age shes at and it would confuse her life too much if you guys contacted her now
