AND, what a brave momma! I'm so glad you had the opportunity to talk about what tummy he was in so early. A perfect intro to the subject, and very similar to my first discussion with my daughter. She was 4 also, I was pregnant with my son and took the same opportunity. Keeping it fresh in her mind over the years has proven to be the best choice we ever could have made. This is my first visit here, and I will surely be back! Jamie What a brave boy you have, shots are tough no matter how old you are.

My son just sits there and doesn't utter a single word or tear. He even tells he likes shots. That takes a lot of gut to tell your son about his birthmom. My niece doesn't know her real father isn't her biological father. She's almost eleven. <em><strong>My daughter will get a shot if it means seeing her favorite doctor. I can't imagine learning something so "big" about yourself anywhere near teen or young adulthood - it would put me in a tailspin wondering what else about me I didn't know.</strong></em> My oldest daughter once ran out of the doctor’s office to escape her shot.

Two very rough things to go through in the same day. It is hard to see them hurt like that. I admire your strength to be able to discuss his birfmom with him at such a young age. He has a tremendous heart, I hope he never loses that. <em><strong>That's my hope too!

That’s my hope too! I never want my kids to define a “time” when they learned such important things about themselves and their history. We’ve always wanted them to grow up secure in the knowledge of who they are, where they came from and help them where they’re going.

It sounds like he was such a trooper about the shots. I always cried when my kids got them. I'm such a wuss. But what an amazing thing to watch your children grow into these little people that comprehend their lives on so many levels. You're so obviously a great mom. <em><strong>You are so sweet.
