Why was I adopted?

As any parent knows, you will never have all the answers to the difficult and unexpected questions your child can ask. But as an adoptive parent, Q&A sessions can be even more challenging. Many, even most, of the adoption questions children ask are related to their need to understand their past, who they are now, and their place in the world and in their adoptive family.

This short guide looks at some of the most common big adoption questions that adopted children ask, and explores the feelings and worries that can lie behind a child’s questions, with useful suggested dialogues.

This guide is ideal for children aged 7 and upwards, who have been adopted.
