Default Re: How long to wait before telling your child they\'re adopted?

I think the answer is either before kindergarten or before college. My neighbors adopted a little girl from Russia and she (at the age of 8) is proud of her Russian heritage.

They did a very nice job with it, but I can see that if you adopted a child shortly after birth then waiting until early adulthood is probably fine.
