Honesty is the best approach when it comes to adoptive children. I would tell the the child that they only have a mommy right now because that's how things were meant to be for us. It in no way is a bad thing because all the love that two parents have for a child, is all inside of me so I love them twice as much. I wouldn't lie and say I was the biological mother either. I would explain to them that even though I didnt grow them inside of my body, they are mine. I love them unconditionally and I would die for them in a heartbeat. I know many people who have been adopted and love their adoptive parents and do not feel any resentment about being adopted. If anything, they are happy they got adopted and got to grow up with their adoptive parents. They couldn't see it any other way.
How do you explain to your adopted child, that you're the only parent?
