Thankyou Sue et all!

Sue, actually this issue of how to tell the child is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. I do not want to lie tp the child at all, but I was questioning in my own head what an age appropriate time is to try and explain it. I remember in kindergarden (about 5 years) that I had an argument with another child when I made the observation that it seem to take a man and woman to have a baby (I had absolutely no idea what the connection was though)...I'm so curious in my own mind and to how to explain the di in concepts that a young child can understand.

The other issues are, at least in my mind, rather much non-issues....my responses would be pretty much the same as yours.
