and we've had a lot of talks about her birth family and how sometimes someone loves you so much that they send you to a family who can protect you and keep you safe.

Kids read your anxiety as much as they hear your words. I know it's hard, but it's important to tell yourself that even though she is having these feelings, you have the rest of your lives to get it right, and she's not going anywhere. Calm yourself as much as you can, smile and tell her you love her.

Do you lie down with her at night at bedtime? One of use does this every night, and we always answer any questions she has as she's falling asleep, and we remind her that we love her, that she is special, that she is safe with us, and that we will be here for her forever.

Every night.

Good luck.

Aren't there books on the 'story of how you were adopted' that you can read to kids? I'm no expert, certainly, but as someone who would like to adopt, I've thought something like that might be a good way to ease into the child's story without making it a big deal. It might also help you figure out how to word things so he doesn't feel abandoned. Maybe?

Here's an example, but look up 'adoption story book' on amazon and there's are a lot of them:
